Book excerpt: The purpose of this Joint Applied Project is to develop and field a Contracting Officer/Team Leader Handbook. Multiple factors have led to an environment that is less than optimal for the accomplishment of the acquisition mission. There has been a significant loss of corporate knowledge in the Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command (CE LCMC) workforce combined with acceleration in promotions to the GS-13 level. The experience level of current Contracting Officers is limited due to rapid promotions. In the past few years the organizational culture focused more on cycle time reductions, versus the quality of the work product in order to satisfy the needs of the customer. In addition, since the supervisory role was raised to the GS-14 level, and GS-13's were relieved of supervisory responsibility, there has been increased confusion as to the role of the team leader. Initial research suggests that Contracting Officers/Team Leaders need another resource to support them in the accomplishment of their varied duties. The C-E LCMC Acquisition Center's strategic plan for the next 12-month period sets forth a vision of a new business culture - one that defines competency at three different levels. The first level is "Do" a complex task (being able to repeat this task consistently), followed by level two, which is "Understand Why" (being able to take learned knowledge and apply that to solving the next problem and doing the next task; being able to improve execution each time and refine), and ending with level three "Explain the Why" (mastering knowledge and skill so that one can do it again and show someone how to do it and why), which leads others to competency. The plan is to enhance the workforce skill sets, ensure contracting is done right, and focus on leadership development. The objective of this project is to align with this plan and provide a guide that supports Contracting Officers/Team Leaders in three key areas: technical competence, leadership, and customer relations.

Download or read book Contracting Officer s Representative COR Handbook written by Department of Department of Defense and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why publish the COR Handbook? I began my civil service career in 1977 at the Army Corps of Engineers after a stint in the Air Force and college. Eventually I worked my way up to a Senior level position at the Defense Intelligence Agency where I worked until I retired in 2016. I frequently chaired Selection Boards for Architect/Engineer (A/E) service contracts and for construction contracts, so I always had a copy of the FARs and the DFARs at hand. What bothered me about the 3 ring binders that held them was they were so big and bulky. Now that I am retired, I decided to publish the FARs, DFARs, AFARS and other book for acquisition professional in separate books that are easy to carry and simple anyone can quickly find what they're looking for. This is one of those books. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1⁄2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. I need glasses to read and I don't like books with small print. That's especially true of complex technical subjects like acquisition regulations. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https://usgovpub.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COTR Handbook (Contracting Officers Technical Representative)Effective Catalyst for Stronger Organizational Performance By Steve Stryker & Don PhilpottPublished by Government Training Inc. ; 310 pagesFederal contract spending on goods and services topped $360 billion in 2008 - $160 billion more than in 2000. So Federal contracting is clearly an effective and efficient way to do the government's work but there is always room for improvement, according to the authors of The COTR Handbook.Ensuring that the Government meets the public's interests in achieving successful contract outcomes requires that agencies have enough Federal employees with the right skills and competencies to design and oversee contracts, said Steve Stryker and Don Philpott.Unfortunately, while contracting has become more costly and more complex, the number of contracting officers available to work on contracts has remained essentially the same Most of the work done assessing the employees involved in contracting has been focused on contracting officers and other employees working on the business aspects of contracting..Surprisingly little attention has been paid to the Contracting Officers Technical Representatives (COTRs) who provide the technical and program expertise for developing the technical aspects of contracts and for overseeing the technical work of the contractor. These employees are critical to ensuring positive contract outcomes, and the technical aspects of their contracting work have become increasingly more complex. In addition, COTRs may have added pressure to take on more responsibility for managing contracts because there are relatively fewer COs available to work on current contracts.Successful acquisitions now require a fresh, results-oriented view of the process with acquisition professionals serving as business advisors to their respective agency stakeholders. A key guiding principle for any acquisition contributor is to develop a sound business solution that links short-and long-term goals. The COTR's role bridges the acquisition and program communities.The authors have researched extensively through federal sources to bring the reader the most comprehensive desk reference available on all aspects of the COTR role and mission. This book has drawn heavily on the authoritative materials published by the a wide range of federal agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the General Services Administration (GSA), and Headquarters, Department of the Army. Then, the authors have organized the information into an organized and logical presentation, added their own experience and a high value 5-Step process to provide a valuable resource to COTR veterans and new managers alike.This practical handbook looks at the complex duties performed by COTRs and explains how best to carry them out in order to achieve a stronger organizational performance. The easy to follow Five Step Process explains the environment in which the COTR operates, duties and responsibilities of all parties in the acquisition process, key skill areas required and how these are applied throughout the contracting life cycle. Finally, the authors provide a wealth of forms, report formats, checklists checklists and more checklists that guide the COTR, and all key individuals in the acquisition process.Throughout this handbook, there are case studies, checklists, exercises and structured "if-then" guides designed to prepare COTRs for the tasks in hand, give them a powerful set of management tools, motivate them to succeed and inspire them to adopt best practices in order to achieve even more positive outcomes.
