A recent review of the January 2009 issue of the Department of Energy (DOE) Acquisition Career Management Program (ACMP) Handbook identified many areas that require an update. Although the ACMP Handbook revisions are underway, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) issued OFPP Memorandum, “Revisions to the Federal Acquisition Certification for Contracting Officer’s Representatives (FAC-COR),” dated September 6, 2011. This OFPP Memorandum requires that agencies implement the revised FAC-COR certifications effective January 1, 2012.
