If you are a COR who works for a federal civilian agency (such as FAA, VA, DHS, USPHS, etc), the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) website provides the COR certification requirements at the federal level.
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.
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.
The FAC-COR shall be recognized by all federal civilian agencies as evidence that an employee meets core requirements to perform Contracting Officer’s Representative functions. FAC-COR certification is managed and awarded at the agency level.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The DoD COR Handbook address all aspects of the COR’s post-award roles and responsibilities. The following table lists typical COR post-award responsibilities as outlined in the handbook.
