Section A. Designation of Chief Acquisition Officer

    1. The Assistant Secretary for Administration is designated to 
serve as the Department's Chief Acquisition Officer. Functions of the

Procurement Executive will perform all the duties and functions of the 
Chief Acquisition Officer.

authority to delegate any of the duties and functions of the Chief 
Acquisition Officer to the Senior Procurement Executive. On July 30, 
2013 (78 FR 46240), the Deputy Secretary delegated to the Senior 
Procurement Executive certain authority to perform the functions of the 
Chief Acquisition Officer. The July 30, 2013, delegation of authority

Deputy Secretary as Chief Acquisition Officer. Any functions not 
delegated to the Senior Procurement Executive remain with the Chief 
Acquisition Officer.

procurement-related matters.
    3. The authority of the Senior Procurement Executive includes the 
authority to redelegate the duties and functions of the Senior 
Procurement Executive.

2013 (78 FR 46240). As noted herein, the July 30, 2013 (78 FR 46240), 
delegation of authority to the Senior Procurement Executive is affirmed 
by this notice, with the exception of any references to the Deputy 
Secretary as Chief Acquisition Officer.
