Delegation of Procurement Authority. Federal buyers who wish to use the GSA GWAC must receive and will benefit from GSA GWAC contract overview training leading to a written Delegation of Procurement Authority (“DPA” or “delegation”). A written DPA authorizes warranted contracting officers to become Ordering Contracting Officers (OCOs), and is required prior to awarding and administering Orders. The OCO training and written delegation requirements are beneficial because DPAs provide a clearly structured understanding of roles and responsibilities between the Master Contract Contracting Officer(s) and OCOs, resulting in a positive take away for all stakeholders. The training and DPA arise out of GSA’s obligations to the Office of Management and Budget, are consistent with Section 865 of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx National Defense Authorization Act of 2009, P.L. 110-417 (“DHNDAA” or “NDAA 2009”) and are in-line with the related recommendation of the Acquisition Advisory Panel/XXXX Panel (authorized by Section 1423 of the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003). While delegation can only be granted to warranted Contracting Officers, all individuals (i.e., project managers, program officials, etc.) involved with a Task Order are encouraged to participate in the training. No work may be performed, no debt or obligation accrued and no payment may be made except as authorized by a bona-fide written order signed by an OCO having a written GSA GWAC DPA.
