CCO’s Authority Contracting Officers (KOs), pursuant to FAR 1. 602, are the only personnel authorized to enter into, administer, or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings. • KOs may bind the government only to the extent of the authority delegated to them – KOs shall receive from the appointing authority clear instructions in writing regarding the limits of their authority SFOperational 1402 is “the Warrant” In–the Area, contracting authority flows from Congress to the President, then to the Secretary of Defense, through the Service Agency Head, to the Head of Contracting Activity (HCA) and then to Senior Contracting Official (SCO) to the Contracting Officer.

Contracting Support Structures In-Theater Contracting Organizations - Options Single-Service Logistics Support (SSLS): service component provides “ALL” contracting support required for their service component. Lead Service for Contracting Coordination (LSCC): common contract requirements or logistic classes, and scarce services are coordinated and assigned through formal action (JCSB). Lead Service for Contracting (LSC): tied to common user logistics, most capable service contracting, or BOS integration. Joint Theater Support Contracting Command (JTSCC): centralizes both command contracting authority of service contracting organization personnel. The joint contracting support board (JCSB) is primary mechanism to coordinate and de-conflict contracting actions within a designated operational area, normally a joint operations area (JOA) The joint requirements review board (JRRB) is primary mechanism to review, validate, prioritize and approve selected service component contract support requests Learn.

Support Structure Considerations Ø Ø Ø Decision Factors Include but not Limited To Size, primary mission, expected duration of the joint operation Scope, criticality & complexity of theater support contracting requirements Need for enhanced JFC control of theater support contracting mission Location of supported units compared to available commercial vendor base Dominant user and most capable Service considerations § May not be the same Service in any given operation A designated lead Service or Joint Contracting Command would normally only have coordinating authority over Service component external support contracting organizations and DCMA ACOs. These organizations, in general, have no authority over system support contracts. Learn. Perform. Succeed. 5 - 19

Joint Theater Support Contracting Command • Larger or more complex contingency operations • Mission is long-term duration • JFC requires more oversight • Extremely complex operation that requires direct control of theater support contracting by the JFC commander • Mission beyond the capability of a single Service • Mission that requires significant coordination of contracting and civilmilitary aspects the JFC's campaign plan • Significant numbers of different Service forces operating in same area/joint bases served by the same local vendor base 5 - 20
