This category provides information on specific contract categories based on the flow of the contracting officer's authority. The two broad contract categories include: 1) Theater support (contracts awarded by contingency contracting officers in theater); and, 3) External support (contracting officers external to the theater where the work is being performed, and who are awarding contracts that supplement military personnel support on the battlefield, such as the U.S. Army's Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) contract).
