Which of the following is NOT a COR responsibility?

• A. Enters into, administers, and terminates contracts
• B. Monitors contractor performance
• C. Liaises with government auditors
• D. Reviews contract deliverables

Answer: (A)

The COR’s role is to support contract execution by overseeing how the contractor performs, reviewing deliverables to ensure they meet requirements, and coordinating with government auditors to verify compliance. The authority to actually enter into, administer, and terminate contracts rests with the Contracting Officer, who has the legal power to bind the government and manage contract-level actions. Because this authority is reserved for the CO, entering into, administering, and terminating contracts is not a COR responsibility. The other tasks—monitoring contractor performance, liaising with government auditors, and reviewing contract deliverables—are exactly what a COR handles to ensure the contract is fulfilled properly.
