Cooperative Agreement Authorization Document ( Sample Clauses

Cooperative Agreement Authorization Document (. APPENDIX A) The Cooperative Agreement Authorization Document may be used to document the determination of whether a cooperative agreement is the appropriate award instrument for the activities proposed for a funding agreement. The factual basis for a finding that a cooperative agreement is both authorized and the most suitable means of meeting the requirement will be presented in the document. Ultimately, the GO in consultation with counsel must determine that a CA may be awarded for the proposed scope of work, so this document may be used as the recommendation or requesting document to be submitted to the GO.
