Which statement about COR responsibilities is true?

• A. CORs can authorize adding/removing CORs
• B. CORs must approve all leave for their personnel
• C. CORs handle pay processing
• D. CORs manage medical records

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a COR administers the contract on the Contracting Officer’s behalf and can designate others to assist in contract oversight when properly authorized. If the Contracting Officer has delegated authority to adjust who is officially assigned to oversee the contract, the COR can authorize adding or removing CORs to ensure continuous, capable coverage. This helps keep contract administration uninterrupted, especially when the primary COR is unavailable or when workload requires additional support. The other statements don’t fit typical COR duties: leave approvals are handled by supervisors or HR, pay processing is done by payroll, and medical records are managed by medical or records offices, not by the COR.
