Locating and Verifying Annual Delegated Contracting Authority Recertification Knowledge Check
Individuals with Delegated Contracting Authority (Level 1 and Level 2) must complete a recertification knowledge check annually to maintain their authority. This is an asynchronous eLearning course and should take less than 20 minutes.
Important Details:
- Attempts: You have 5 attempts to pass the recertification. Failing all 5 attempts will result in the removal of your delegated contracting authority.
- Deadline: Complete and pass the recertification knowledge check by the end of the fiscal year to maintain your delegated contracting authority. FY26 ends June 30, 2026.
- New Authorities: If you earned your delegated contracting authority in the current fiscal year, this requirement will not take effect until next fiscal year.
- Level 2 Contracting Authority (L2CA): To retain your L2CA, you must continue to meet all Level 1 Contracting Authority (L1CA) requirements, including passing this annual recertification.
