3-5.2 Evaluate Background and Training

The potential COR must have the proper training and certifications required. Training and certifications are available through the COR Program. All CORs must be familiar with Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch.

Certain contracts require full-time CORs. It is essential to verify that the COR is able to devote time to necessary contract management duties, in addition to the individual’s regular Postal Service employment obligations. The CO will evaluate the scheduling capabilities of the nominee, evaluate his or her training and certification history, and determine his or her eligibility.
