Book excerpt: During a deployment, contingency operation, or response to natural disasters, conditions can change in a hurry. One day you might be operating in a sustained operational environment, and the next you could be deployed to a bare base or supporting disaster relief operations in the field. The challenges you face might be very familiar or totally unprecedented. You might have little or no time to prepare, and you could have nothing but your own wits to guide you. The success of your mission might depend in part or completely on your ability to solve problems and think quickly. Your job as a contingency contracting officer (CCO) is acquiring the items needed to support the mission. While doing this job, you should be aware that many foreign business cultures expect kickbacks, finder's fees, exchanges of gifts, or other gratuities that are illegal for U.S. personnel to provide or accept. You should always ensure that ethics regulations are closely observed. As a CCO, you must be vigilant in advising U.S. commanders, requirements personnel, and CCO-appointed representatives about practices that might violate standards of conduct. We have produced this Defense Contingency Contracting Handbook to help you successfully operate in a variety of mission environments. This handbook and the supplemental materials provide the essential information, tools, and training for you to meet the challenges you will face, regardless of the mission or environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to provide guidance by which future U.S. Navy Contingency Contracting Officers (CCOs) can effectively prepare for contingency operations. Additional research will provide guidelines for sustainment to support major contingencies. The research for this study was accomplished by reading literature on the subject of contingency contracting. Further research encompassed gathering information on lessons learned from past contingency contracting operations. Contingency contracting issues provided in this research project include an examination of preparatory steps required by Navy CCOs prior to deployment. Also included are sustainment issues that could positively affect a contingency operation and funding requirements that should be understood while conducting contingency operations. Additionally, this study provides conclusions and recommendations that could enhance the effectiveness of future Navy CCOs in support of contingency operations. Appendixes include a contingency contracting deployment kit, a list of personal items needed for contingency operations, approximately 23 forms used in contingency contracting, a contracting checklist, and a list of acronyms.

I began my civil service career in 1977 at the Army Corps of Engineers after a stint in the Air Force and college. Eventually I worked my way up to a Senior level position at the Defense Intelligence Agency where I worked until I retired in 2016. I frequently chaired Selection Boards for Architect/Engineer (A/E) service contracts and for construction contracts, so I always had a copy of the FARs and the DFARs at hand. What bothered me about the 3 ring binders that held them was they were so big and bulky. Now that I am retired, I decided to publish the FARs, DFARs, AFARS and other book for acquisition professional in separate books that are easy to carry and simple anyone can quickly find what they're looking for. This is one of those books. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1⁄2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. I need glasses to read and I don't like books with small print. That's especially true of complex technical subjects like acquisition regulations. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https://usgovpub.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contingencies such as regional conflicts, humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, or international or domestic disaster relief missions dictate the immediate deployment of military forces. This rapid deployment of Service members and other military assets requires concurrent deployment of supporting assets such as Contingency Contracting Officers (CCOs). The purpose of this research was to detail and compare the contingency contracting establishments of the Air Force, Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Defense Contract Management Agency. The thesis compares and contrasts the regulations governing the contingency contracting operations, the organization structure, contingency contracting support plans, and the training requirements and duties of CCOs of the aforementioned components. All components have adequate structures in place for contingency contracting. However, the research provides several conclusions and recommendations on how the Services could conduct contingency contracting operations more efficiently. Recommendations include the establishment of a contingency contracting chief within the Marine Corps, scenario-based field training within Department of Defense and the Services, and tailored pre- deployment training within each Service. As the Services continuously redefine their missions, they must adapt all subordinate units and organizations to ensure personnel have the training and equipment to meet any contingency.
