Course Purpose

This COR certification course focuses on the newest directions of government acquisition including performance-based contracts, risk management, quality assessment plans and effective contract administration for results-oriented contracts. Participants will be provided with the required information necessary for most DOD and federal civilian agency certifications. More importantly, participants will gain an understanding of the statutory and procedural requirements, the acquisition process and their role, determination of appropriate contract types, and the process for performance evaluations. Material presented is in accordance with the administrator of OFPP’s memorandum addressing the requirements for federal acquisition certification for CORs.

• Provide the required training on responsibilities and limitations of authority for these personnel in headquarters and field activities.

• Inform engineering/technical personnel of the complex and challenging responsibilities of contracting personnel (GS-1100 series) in carrying out the “law of the land” as embodied in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
