Field Ordering Officer and Paying Agent: Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

This handbook addresses the roles and functions of Soldiers performing as field ordering officers (FOOs) and paying agents. The Army relies on contracts for equipment, supplies, and services. Most contracts are not million- or multi-million-dollar programs that receive multiple levels of review. Most procurements are small "micro-purchases" units use to meet one-time, immediate needs. However, the basic standards of ethics and business practices for large programs also apply to micro-purchases. This handbook provides many basic standards and serves as a ready reference for FOOs and paying agents while they support their units' requirements.
