A Contracting Officer (CO or KO) is the only person who can bind, limited to the extent of the authority delegated by the head of the agency, the United States government to a contract that is greater than the Micro-Purchase thresholdFAR 1.602. In the Department of Defense the acronym KO is used, instead of CO, not to be confused with Commanding Officer. The CO enters into, administers, or terminates contracts and makes related determinations and findings. The CO is a federal employee who is issued a Certificate of Appointment, Standard Form 1402.
