What is one key responsibility of a COR regarding contractor performance?

One of the key responsibilities of a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) is to track deliverables as per the contract. This function is crucial because it ensures that the contractor is meeting the specific commitments outlined in the contract. The COR must monitor the progress of the contractor’s work, assess the quality of the services or products provided, and confirm that they are delivered on time and within the agreed standards.

Tracking deliverables involves evaluating performance against established milestones and addressing any deficiencies promptly. This oversight helps ensure that the government receives what it has contracted for, maintains accountability, and can take necessary action if the contractor is not performing as expected. By keeping a close watch on deliverables, the COR plays a vital role in the overall success of the contract and the satisfaction of contractual obligations.
