The Federal Acquisition Certification for Contracting Officer’s Representatives (FAC-COR) program is for acquisition professionals in the Federal Government performing contract management activities and functions.
Contracting Officers are responsible for deciding if they need an individual to serve as their authorized representative (i.e., COR) for purposes of monitoring the technical or administrative aspects of contractor performance during the life-cycle of the contract.
A contracting officer’s representative (COR) assists in the technical monitoring or administration of a contract (see 1.602-2 (d)). The COR shall maintain a file for each assigned contract.
Build COR skills with Contracting Officer’s Representative Training. Follow the Level I–III roadmap with DAU and FAI aligned courses to meet federal certification requirements and strengthen contract oversight, monitoring, and performance management.
IBC CORs have the requisite training, certification, and experience to perform all required COR activities. The proper monitoring of a contract by an IBC COR greatly reduces the level of risk and problems.
The COR Advantage assessment provides a complete picture of child development. Compatible with any developmentally- appropriate curriculum, COR Advantage allows teachers to view children’s development through play and naturally occurring activities.
If notified by a contracting officer that COR performance is inadequate, the requiring activity or COR management, including the COR supervisor, must re-emphasize with the COR the importance of the COR function and responsibilities.
This Tool allows a perspective COR, COR Supervisor, and Contracting Officer to electronically process the nomination of CORs for one or multiple contracts. It provides a built-in nomination workflow to include email alerts/status reminders for monthly status report due-ins and delinquencies.
The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) is a crucial link between the Contracting Officer (CO) and the contractor. In effect, CORs are the eyes and the ears of the contracting officer, ensuring that the work the contracting officer has authorized gets properly done.
