One Team, One Voice Delivering Global Acquisition Insight That Matters

How are functions similar?

Each of you in your role as functional specialist has a

technical discipline with the ability to:

• Read/interpret a contract per your technical requirements

• Identify and seek to correct contract deficiencies

• Execute contract surveillance per your discipline, in

accordance with regulatory requirements, and look beyond

the contract (e.g., ACO/CA records contractor performance

in a shared database)

• Interact with DoD customers and contractors to provide

acquisition insight

• Document/report your surveillance findings
