creyes814 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Can the Source Selection Authority and Contracting Officer be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mansfield Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yes. See FAR 15.303(a): Agency heads are responsible for source selection. The contracting officer is designated as the source selection authority, unless the agency head appoints another individual for a particular acquisition or group of acquisitions.

Witty_Username Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Since it sounds like you're DOD, the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures dated 1 Apr 2016 add the requirement for acquisitions over $100 million that "the Agency head shall appoint, in writing, an individual other than the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) as the Source Selection Authority (SSA)."
