Which contracting unit is specifically identified as assisting divisional units?

• A. Contracting BN/Regional Contracting Center
• B. Theater Support Office
• C. LOGCAP Office
• D. DLA Strategic Sourcing

Answer: (A)

Contracting support at the division level is provided by the Contracting Battalion and its Regional Contracting Centers. This unit is specifically organized to bring contracting officers and specialists to assist divisional units with planning, market research, source selection, contract actions, and post-award administration. It concentrates the expertise and processes needed to execute contracts within the division’s area of operation, ensuring timely, compliant, and standardized acquisition support.

The Theater Support Office coordinates broader, theater-wide activities and may touch multiple commands, but it’s not the unit designated to directly assist a single division’s contracting requirements. The LOGCAP Office focuses on managing the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, not regular divisional contracting support. DLA Strategic Sourcing handles enterprise-level DoD sourcing via the Defense Logistics Agency, rather than in-theater, division-level contracting help.

So, the contracting battalion/regional contracting center is the unit specifically identified to assist divisional units.
