Correct!!
In addition to adequate training and proper technical skills, a nominated COR must meet what
conditions? - ANSWERMust be a Government employee unless otherwise authorized in agency
regulations.
May not be delegated authority to make any commitments or changes that affect price, quality,
quantity, delivery, or other terms and conditions of the contract.
Must be designated in writing.
You have been designated the COR on a contract and the Contracting Officer is swamped. As long as
you document the actions you make as a COR, there is no need to alert the Contracting Officer of
every problem you encounter, such as technical or contractual difficulties - ANSWERFalse. The COR
should keep the Contracting Officer fully informed of any technical or contractual difficulties
encountered during performance and assure the Contracting Officer that the contractor's
performance meets the technical requirements, terms, and conditions of the contract.
Apparent Authority - ANSWERObvious or evident authority that a reasonable person would assume
someone to possess, based on his or her actions or position. The Government does not recognize
this authority for contract work.
Implied authority - ANSWERis an area where the COR must be very careful. CORs must never
assume, nor give the impression, that they have authority beyond what is delegated in the COR
Letter of Designation.
All aspects of this type of authority are not spelled out in writing or documented.
Expressed Authority-Actual authority - ANSWERWritten, documented authority such as that given to
the Contracting Officer in a warrant. The COR only has expressed authority as delegated in the COR
Letter of Designation. As an example, the COR may be delegated the authority to authorize payment
of invoices.
