Which contracting expert units are assigned to help divisional units?

• A. Contracting BN/Regional Contracting Center
• B. DLA regional office
• C. LOGCAP support unit
• D. Program Executive Office

Answer: (A)

Divisional units get specialized contracting support from embedded contracting professionals in a Contracting Battalion or Regional Contracting Center. These units bring trained contracting officers and specialists who handle the entire lifecycle of a contract—defining requirements, conducting market research, preparing solicitations, evaluating proposals, awarding contracts, and administering them in theater. This arrangement speeds up procurement, ensures compliance with procurement laws and regulations, and provides continuity as units rotate.

The other options don’t fit as well because the DLA regional offices manage broad supply and depot-level support rather than providing on-site, division-level contracting experts. The LOGCAP support unit focuses on large-scale civilian contractor logistics under a specific program, not everyday contracting support for divisions. The Program Executive Office oversees programs and acquisition policy at a higher level and doesn’t serve as the on-the-ground contracting expert for divisions.
