lawyergirl Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Does anyone know if it's typical for a panel of evaluators on a particular federal agency's RFQ (Agency A) to be partially made up of personnel that work at other federal agencies (Agency B and Agency C)? Also, can a CO serve at more than one agency at a time? Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends upon the type of acquisition, if the acquisition is an action under an existing contract or if this is for a new contract, which agency is awarding the contract or action under an existing contract and who the ultimate user agency is. Can you provide any clarification? 42 minutes ago, lawyergirl said: Also, can a CO serve at more than one agency at a time? Please clarify what you mean by “serve at”.

lawyergirl Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Hi there, thanks so much for your reply! This is a recompete RFQ for work at a civil agency. By "serve at" I mean "works at". Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerfed Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Yes, it’s common. Sometimes agencies don’t have sufficient in-house expertise. Occasionally, they want independent views. Other times they seek buy-in from another agency through the other agency being part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A KO, working at one agency, can award a contract or an order under a contract to support another agency or a contract that can be used by another agency. I’ve occasionally seen contracts that were transferred from one agency to another agency. I think that is rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it is typical, but certainly it is allowable. I have seen it happen several times in my career. 17 hours ago, lawyergirl said: Also, can a CO serve at more than one agency at a time? Sure, why not? Several years ago, I simultaneously held an unlimited contracting officer's warrant in the Defense Department and an unlimited contracting officer's warrant in the Commerce Department, and awarded contracts under the jurisdiction of both departments.

Does this help? ji, did you work at two different Departments? That implies that you were simultaneously employed by two different Departments. Or were you employed by one Department but performed KO duties for the two different Departments?

ji20874 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I was a Defense employee posted in a Commerce organization -- we used Defense rules and approvals for some contracts, and Commerce rules and approvals for other contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
