A contracting officer may execute a contractual action (contract award, modification, or termination) exceeding his or her delegated authority provided the appropriate reviews and approvals have been obtained. Written approval of the proposed contract action from the appropriate authority serves as the delegation of authority required to execute a contractual action if the proposed contract award or modification exceeds the contracting officer’s delegated authority.
