Which document controls procurement and contracting activities within CSS Block 2?

• A. The organization’s procurement policy and contracting regulations, including thresholds and approved SIN/NAICS codes.
• B. The travel policy only.
• C. The leave policy.
• D. The training manual.

Answer: (A)

Procurement and contracting activities are governed by the organization’s procurement policy and contracting regulations. This documents set who has authority to approve purchases, establish dollar thresholds that trigger higher-level approvals, and define the codes and categories used for acquisitions (like SIN and NAICS). They create consistent, compliant buying practices and prevent unauthorized commitments. Other policies in the options’ scope—travel, leave, and training—address different areas (travel expenses, time off rules, and training requirements) and do not establish how procurement and contracting are to be conducted.
