What is Contingency Contracting? The term ‘Contingency Contracting’ means All stages of the process of acquiring property or services by DoD during a Contingency Operation in the United States (CONUS) or outside the United States (OCONUS) ‘Contingency Operation’ [10 U.S.C. 101(a)(13)] means a military operation that: Designated by the Secretary of Defense when armed forces are or may become involved in military actions, operations, or hostilities against an enemy of the U.S. or against an opposing military force; or Results in the call or order to, or retention on, active duty of members of the uniformed services under… United States Code, or any other provision of law during a war or during a national emergency declared by the President or Congress.

Contingency Terminology In addition to “Contingency Operation”, other terminology associated with contingency contracting includes: Defense or recovery from certain attacks “facilitate defense against or recovery from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack” Agency head may make this determination if not already done so by higher authority Incidents of national significance, emergency declaration, or major disaster declaration Declared by the President or Congress Humanitarian or Peacekeeping Operation

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 SF 1402 is “the Warrant” In the Operational 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 and 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

Support Structure Considerations 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.

Support Structure Synopsis Service Component Support to Own Forces During smaller-scale operations with expected short duration Bulk of the units will be operating in distinctly different areas of the JOA Limited potential competition for the same vendor base Lead Service Contracting Coordination Economies of scale and efficiencies Different industrial base within operational area Lead Service for Contracting Major, long-term operations JFC wants a consolidated contracting effort within the operational area 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 civil-military 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

Contracting Chain Nomenclature Head of Contracting Activity (HCA) Senior Contracting Official (SCO) Equates to PARC (Principle Assistant Responsible for Contracting) in the Army Regional Contracting Chief (RCC) or Chief of Contracting Office (COCO) Contingency Contracting Officer (CCO) Field Ordering Officer (FOO) and Ordering Officer (OO) Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

Warrant Application - Example Some of you may currently be warranted KOs Likely use same warrant if supporting exercise/operation in support of your service/agency If supporting joint operation, expect to apply/reapply for a warrant What documents/information is needed to apply? Copies of DAWIA certificates, course completion certificates Proof of education, experience Copies of previous warrants held, if any Endorsement(s) from your contracting leadership

Practical Exercise Who is YOUR Command Authority and Contracting Authority in a Contingency Environment?

Service Component Contingency Contracting Capabilities Navy Service Component Contingency Contracting Capabilities The Navy does not maintain a dedicated contingency contracting force Contingency contracting capability is based on two principles: Naval officers and civilians, assigned to field contracting and systems acquisitions commands performing contracting functions, are deployed as contingency contracting officers as operations dictate Leverages the network (Husbanding Contractors) that provides global logistics support to maritime and expeditionary forces operating worldwide to create a scalable and multi-level response to real world situations The Navy Civil Engineer Corps is responsible for contingency construction contracting. Civil Engineers are warranted separately via Navy Facilities Systems Command (NAVFAC)
