The only government official authorized to enter into, modify, or terminate contracts. Your main point of contact.
(Contracting Officer) is a acronym concept federal contractors and grant writers run into across solicitations, regulations, and award filings
CO is one of the federal-contracting acronyms that turn up in RFPs, contracting-officer correspondence, modifications, and compliance documents. It stands for Contracting Officer. Understanding what CO means in context is not optional for serious contractors — federal documents accumulate acronyms quickly, and misreading one early in an RFP can ripple through the technical volume, the cost narrative, and the management approach. The fastest way to internalize CO is to read it in the context of an actual contract or solicitation rather than in a vacuum — pattern-recognition across multiple uses beats memorizing the definition once. Bureauify's glossary collects CO alongside the related terms above so the network of meanings is browsable rather than scattered.
