Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The role of the contracting officer has evolved through
our nation's history from one of simply an intermediary
between supplier and consumer to that of a sophisticated
manager of requirements and resources. In the execution of
his many and varied duties and responsibilities, the
present-day contracting officer must interact with a variety
of individuals and organizations. This report attempts to
identify these various relationships, to analyze their
characteristics, and to determine how each affects the
contracting officer' s accomplishment of his primary tasks
and responsibilities. The researcher proposes a model of
the contracting officer's environment and identifies ten
relationships involving the contracting officer which appear
to predominate in this environment. The 169 procurement
tasks compiled by Fowler from previous research are analyzed
in the context of these relationships . The researcher
concludes by revising the proposed model and suggesting that
it be further refined by subsequent field validation. / http://archive.org/details/characteristicse00lawl / Captain, United States Army
