The Contracting Officer and the Program Manager: Authorities, Responsibilities and Relationships within the Navy Weapon System Acquisition Management Arena.

Abstract

The purpose of this research effort has been to investigate the relationship which exists between the Contracting Officer and the Program Manager. The scope of the effort was necessarily restricted to an examination of that relationship as found at Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters, Washington D.C. in order to make the effort more manageable. In order to achieve the stated goals, a brief examination of the authorities and responsibilities of the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) as set forth in the Armed Services Procurement Regulations was undertaken. This was followed by a brief review of the two major documents providing guidance and establishing the authorities and responsibilities of a Navy Program Manager, namely the Department of Defense Directive 5000.1 and Secretary of the Navy Instruction 5000.1.
