Implement a human capacity contingency plan based on current staffing levels. While filling the Senior Contract Specialist position would be the simplest way to address the risk, a contingency plan must be in place until such time as that position is filled. The plan should identify internal or external sources to fulfill CO responsibilities. For internal resources, the plan should identify how responsibilities will be shared in order to provide the acting CO the time to perform the procurement duties. Any special training should be identified and completed to ensure that the plan can be implemented on short notice.
