FARt Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 My agency has no internal procedures for who must sign an interagency agreement (IA). I cannot find any FAR or statute requiring that a CO sign an IA. Am I mistaken? Can a program manager, funding official, etc sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo1102 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 A warranted contracting officer obligates funding - even if that funding is being obligated between agencies. See OMB Guidance dated June 2008 regardig Interagency Acquisitions. If you are in the DoD, please see the DoD Financial Management Regulation 7000.14R, 11a_03 and DoD Instruction 4000-19 dated 9 Aug 95. Also, see FAR Part 17.504(d)(3) - statutory authority for contractual actions - a contracting officer has statutory authority up to their warrant amount. If you are interested more in IAs, send me an e-mail separately and I can send you what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Interagency agreement about what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FARt Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 IA is for information services our agency is providing to the requesting agency under IDIQ contract we have with a vendor. The requesting agency does not have a CO sign off on their IA, only funding official. This is a non-Economcy Act IA. We are using revolving fund authority.

Guest Vern Edwards Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 So the IA is pursuant to FAR 17.502-1(? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FARt Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yes. The IA is signed, but just not by a warranted CO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I know of no statutory or regulatory requirement that a CO sign the IA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerfed Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I agree. I've looked at this for years and the answer always is the same - there's no requirement for a CO to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
