3-5.3 Formally Designate COR

The contracting officer will prepare a detailed COR Letter of Appointment that contains, at minimum, the following key information for each appointee:

  • Contract identification.
  • Roles and responsibilities.
  • Recordkeeping duties.
  • Designated contract administration and management duties.

The appointment is made official when the letter of appointment is signed by the contracting officer and countersigned by the COR, ensuring full understanding and acceptance of the designated responsibilities.

Suppliers are responsible for notifying the contracting officer when they believe that the COR is not carrying out his or her duties within the prescribed limitations.

Appointments remain in effect until:

  • The contract is completed.
  • The contracting officer revokes the appointment.
  • The COR resigns from the Postal Service.
  • The COR is reassigned to a new position.

The contracting officer may, at his or her sole discretion, revoke the appointment of the COR at any time.
