How frequently must Contracting Officers renew their warrants?

Contracting Officers must renew their warrants every three years to ensure that they remain current with regulations, policy changes, and competency in contracting practices. This periodic renewal process helps maintain a high standard of professionalism and effectiveness in awarding contracts. The three-year renewal cycle allows for both the required training and assessment of a Contracting Officer's ability to manage their responsibilities effectively within that timeframe. This ensures that they are kept up to date with any changes in federal acquisition regulations and best practices in procurement.
