53.201-92 Contract file content list (DLA Form 678).

(a) General. DLA Form 678 shall be used as prescribed in 4.803(S-90).

(b) General instructions for preparation and use of DLA Form 678. The blocks shall be "X'd" and/or filled in as appropriate.

(1) Filing instructions.

(i) Sections A and B shall be filed on the left side of the file folder with section A on the bottom. Sections C and D shall be filed on the right side of the file folder with section C on the bottom.

(ii) The lowest numbered tab within each section shall be placed at the bottom of that section. When multiple documents are present under a numbered tab, e.g., correspondence, memoranda, they shall be filed chronologically with the most recent document on top.

(iii) It is impossible to enumerate all of the factors or conditions which may require specific documentation over and above that normally required. Therefore, as circumstances dictate, contracting officers shall describe, under the appropriate "blank" tab numbers, e.g., numbers 15-17; 30-32, such documentation as may be peculiar to the acquisition involved and file same in the analogous contract file section, e.g., tab 31, Certificate of Competency.

(2) Contract documentation.

(i) The documents identified on DLA Form 678 are those which are normally required to support a sealed bid/negotiated acquisition, other than a small purchase. The file sections provided establish the logical acquisition cycle sequence of documentation. The completed file will constitute a complete chronological history of the transaction and permit ready reconstruction of the actions taken in processing the acquisition.

53.213 Small purchase and other simplified purchase procedures.

53.213-90 Blanket purchase agreement delivery ticket (DLA Form 470).

This form may be used when supplies or services are acquired by means of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA).

(a) General. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Form 470 is a cut sheet form and is designed to be used by the vendor as an acknowledgment of a call, notice of shipment, packing list, and invoice. This form eliminates the need for preparation, by the Contractor, of separate forms for these purposes. Also, Government personnel requiring information on these forms will receive it on a standard format.

(b) Procedure. A supply of the forms may be provided by the contracting office to each Contractor who has entered into a BPA with the center. Upon the placing of a call, the Contractor may be required to complete the BPA delivery ticket based on information contained in the written or oral call in accordance with detailed instructions to be provided by the contracting office.

(c) General instructions for preparation of DLA Form 470. After the placing of each call, complete the call, complete the form in accordance with the general instructions below, and any specific instructions received with the placing of the call.

(1) Block 11. This is the date the supplies are to reach destination, not the date of shipment. Convert the number of delivery days the Government offered to an actual date. For example, if the Government offered a 30-day delivery and received the oral or written call on 1 October, enter 10/31/YY as the required date.

(2) Block 12. This is the date the supplies are to be shipped, not delivered.

(3) Blocks 13 through 19. Information for these blocks will be furnished by the contracting office at the time of the call. Enter the name and address of the consignee in block 15.

(4) Blocks 21 through 23. Entries in these blocks will be made at the time of shipment. Enter actual date shipped or delivered. No partial shipments to a particular destination may be made. If more than one shipment is made against a call, prepare two copies of this form for shipment. Copies of the shipping documents may be attached as an alternative to completing blocks 21 and 22.

(5) When using the form as an acknowledgment of call. Place a check mark on "*" copies of the form in the box "Acknowledgment of call" (block 9).

(6) When using this form as a notice of shipment. Place a check mark in the box "Packing list" (block 9) on "*" copies of the form in the box "Notice of shipment" (block 9).

(7) When using the form as a packing list. Place a check mark in the box "packing list" (block 9) on "*" copies of the reproduced form for each consignee. Be sure blocks 21 through 23 have been completed, as applicable, on the forms used. Send "*" copies to each consignee by placing copies inside the container or in an envelope attached to the exterior of the container.

(8) When using this form as an invoice. At the end of the billing period, fill in "*" copies of the reproduced form which includes the shipment data for all destinations of that call as follows:

(i) Place a mark in the box marked invoice (block 9) of each copy of the form.

(ii) Sign and date blocks 24 and 25 of the top copy only of the form. If the BPA under which this call was issued does not provide for the fast payment procedure, the top copy must contain the signature and date (blocks 27A and 27B) of the authorized Government representative receiving and/or accepting for the Government.

"*" The number required shall be in accordance with the needs of the contracting office.

53.213-91 Shipping Instruction (DLA Form 1224).

This form is used against automated simplified acquisitions.

53.213-92 Request for Quotation (DLA Form 1231).

This form is used against automated simplified acquisitions.

53.219 Small business and small disadvantaged business concerns.

53.219-90 Referral of Small Business for Certificate of Competency (CoC) Consideration (DLA Form 1756).

(a) DLA Form 1756 may be used to provide information for CoC referrals as required by FAR 19.602-1 and DFARS 219.602-1.

(b) General instructions for preparation of DLA Form 1756:

(1) The name, size status, and total dollar value of the next low offeror should be identified, however, referrals shall not urge a conclusion based upon the size status of the second low offeror.

(2) The remaining blocks of the form are self-explanatory.

53.9001(f) Types of CORs and required training for each.

Type A COR.

COR duties and/or responsibilities are generally limited to minimal technical and/or administrative monitoring of the contract. The COR works with fixed price, low performance risk requirements without incentives (for example, no identifiable risk factors, limited technical expertise required, low likelihood of modifications, or a follow-on contract versus new effort).
Initial training required: CLC 106, Contracting officer’s representative with a mission focus, or equivalent; CLC 206, Contracting officer’s representatives in a contingency environment, when applicable; CLM 003, Overview of acquisition ethics; CLM 049, Procurement fraud indicators; and Any additional training either mandated by DLA, and/or requested by the designating contracting officer, such as wide area workflow (WAWF).
Refresher training required from the date of designation: A minimum of 8 hours of COR specific training every 3 years or prior to assuming COR responsibilities, if the individual has not served as a COR within the last 2 years (the coursework may include a refresher course on Procurement Fraud Indicators); CLM 003, Overview of acquisition ethics, annually; and Any additional training either mandated by DLA, such as Combatting Trafficking in Persons, and/or requested by the designating contracting officer.

Type B COR.

COR duties and/or responsibilities are of increasing complexity from Type A (however, the duties are not considered as complex as those for Type C). The COR provides technical support and contract administration duties of moderate difficulty. The COR may work with non-fixed price, higher performance risk requirements, with or without incentives, either in CONUS or OCONUS (for example, the effort is performed in multiple regions, in remote geographic locations, or is a contingency effort; procurements may include cost-type services acquisitions and T&M/LH contracts).
Initial Training required: CLC 206, Contracting officer’s representatives in a contingency environment, when applicable; CLC 222, Contracting officers representative (COR) online training; CLM 003, Overview of acquisition ethics; and CLM 049, Procurement fraud indicators; and Any additional training either mandated by DLA, and/or requested by the designating contracting officer, such as WAWF .
Refresher training required from the date of designation: A minimum of 16 hours of COR specific training every 3 years or prior to assuming COR responsibilities, if the individual has not served as a COR within the last 2 years (the coursework may include a refresher course on Procurement Fraud Indicators); CLM 003, Overview of acquisition ethics, annually; and Any additional training either mandated by DLA, such as Combatting Trafficking in Persons, and/or requested by the designating contracting officer.

Type C COR.

COR duties and/or responsibilities are highly complex or specialized. The COR works with unique contract requirements that necessitate specialized training, a professional license, or higher education.
Initial training required: CLC 206, Contracting officer’s representatives in a contingency environment, when applicable; CLC 222, Contracting officers representative (COR) online training; CLM 003, Overview of acquisition ethics; CLM 049, Procurement fraud indicators; and Any additional training either mandated by DLA and/or requested by the designating contracting officer, such as WAWF ; and Mandatory specialized or technical training as determined by the agency.
Refresher training required from the date of designation: A minimum of 16 hours of COR specific training every 3 years or prior to assuming COR responsibilities, if the individual has not served as a COR within the last 2 years (the coursework may include a refresher course on Procurement Fraud Indicators); CLM 003, Overview of acquisition ethics, annually; and Any additional training either mandated by DLA, such as Combatting Trafficking in Persons, and/or requested by the designating contracting officer.
