The COR Member of the Acquisition Team: The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Guide to Performance and Quality
The "COR Member of the Acquisition Team” National Education Seminar (NES) is designed to better illustrate the important role that the contracting officer’s representative (COR) plays in ensuring that the contract specialist or contracting officer properly manages his or her contract. The tenets of the course are universal as it points to the oft-disregarded portions of contracting, which are post-award contract management and the importance of the role of the COR.
The objective of the course is to ensure that each participant will have a greater understanding and appreciation of the following:
- Knowledge of the importance of the role of the COR to the acquisition process;
- Understanding of the need for diversified skill set to perform the COR duties;
- Tools and techniques to aid the COR in:
- Conducting market research,
- Understanding requirements (bona fide needs),
- Building a quality assurance surveillance plan,
- Creating evaluation factors,
- Assessing performance, and
- Building and using a COR handbook;
- Communication skills to effectively facilitate and document an evaluation of contractor performance, and
- Ethical insight and how to stay out of trouble as a COR (ethics and conflict of interest)
Whether you are a new or experienced contracting officer representative (COR), contracting professional, or simply a member of the acquisition team, this seminar is for you! Each unit of this one-day highly interactive course builds on the previous unit, thus reinforcing and connecting what has been learned. This building block approach is coupled with active end-of-unit exercises and case studies. Every attendee will receive a copy of The COR Member of the Acquisition Team: The Contracting Officer's Representative Guide to Performance and Quality, by James N. Phillips Jr., CFCM, Fellow; Michael P. Jennings, PhD, CPCM; and Scottie Paramoure CFCM.
