these requirements. Such functions include approving and signing
contracts, modifications, and the documents that support those
actions such as negotiation memoranda, determinations and
findings, as well as the approval of payment vouchers. All
tasks of this nature must be reviewed and approved by a
government warranted Contracting Officer.
