PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED. CONTROLLED COPY IS AVAILABLE ON COMPANY INTRANET. 1/2
U.S. Federal - Federal Business Services
Signing Authority Policy - U.S. Federal R2[FBS]-001-PL010
1. Purpose and Scope
This Policy requires all contract documents related to a contract with a department or agency of the U.S. Federal Government (USG) be signed by a Contracts Manager within the AECOM Federal Business Services (FBS) organization to ensure full understanding and compliance with such contracts.
This policy applies to:
a. all legal entities within the AECOM family of operating companies, including all subsidiaries and affiliated entities thereof,1 and
b. all joint ventures, whether in the form of a separate legal entity (such as a limited liability company) or a contractual joint venture, for which an AECOM operating company maintains a controlling interest and/or is the managing member.
1 Examples include, without limitation, AECOM Technical Services, Inc.; AECOM Services, Inc.; AECOM USA, Inc.; and URS Group, Inc.
2. Policy
All documents that commit an AECOM operating entity to a contract issued by a USG department or agency shall be signed by an authorized Contracts Manager within the AECOM FBS organization. These trained professional contracts staff shall only sign such documents after the cognizant operations leadership has reviewed the document to identify any compliance or risk issues and, after such review, approved the document for execution on behalf of an AECOM operating entity. Contracts Managers are responsible for establishing review and approval processes with their cognizant operational leadership.
Documents subject to this Policy include all USG-issued solicitation, offer and award documents, including but not limited to, SF33s, SF330s, prime contracts and associated modifications, subcontracts (where AECOM is a subcontractor on a USG prime contract) and associated modifications, Certificates of Current Cost or Pricing Data, or any other document committing AECOM to the USG directly or via another party such as a federal prime contractor.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), teaming agreements (TAs), and joint venture agreements (JVAs) do not need to be signed by a Contracts Manager, but any NDA, TA, or JVA must be reviewed by the Contracts Manager before the document is executed by anyone on behalf of an AECOM operating entity. This allows the Contracts Manager to ensure that contractual documents executed with the USG are consistent with the terms of any associated NDAs, TAs or JVAs.
AECOM Operating Groups or Business Units/Regions may institute unit-specific guidance if it does not conflict with this Policy. The FBS organization will maintain a repository of master contracts and procurement signature authority matrix(s) detailing the levels of signature authority for the Operating Groups or Business Units/Regions.
3. Responsibilities
The Presidents of the AECOM Operating Groups and leaders of Business Units and Regions shall ensure their direct reports comply with this Policy. The EVP FBS shall be responsible for maintaining this Policy.
