The Contingency Contracting Force (CCF) mission is to support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), Supporting Establishment (SE), Special Operations Forces, and Joint and Supported Coalition Forces by planning and obtaining supplies and services from non-organic sources through associated contract support integration, contracting support and contractor management functions. The CCF is organized and structured to execute Operational Contract Support (OCS) functions at all levels of support. OCS is a logistics capability that must be planned and integrated across all combat functions and operational phases. Contracting expertise is essential to planning, coordination and integration of OCS. Officers and enlisted members of the CCF have the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of 3006 (OCS Officer) and 3044 (OCS Specialist), respectively. The CCF trains in the garrison environment to fill operational billets throughout the Marine Corps as either OCS advisors (i.e. to plan, synchronize, integrate and facilitate contracted support) or contracting officers (KOs) (i.e. to plan and execute the contracting support function). Although contracting support is the core function of the OCS capability, it cannot operate in isolation without the other associated functions of OCS, contract support integration and contractor management. The CCF is trained to execute OCS capability through career progression in contracting to support all three functions of OCS.
CCF is not an initial entry MOS. The CCF is comprised of enlisted Marines who have been accepted for a 3044 MOS lateral move and 3002 MOS Supply Officers selected on the Commandant’s Career Level Education Board (CCLEB) to attend the Naval Post Graduate School (NPS) in the Contract Management Curriculum for the 3006 MOS. Marines who attain the 3044 MOS and 3006 MOS will fill professional acquisition coded billets as OCS Advisors or as KOs.

The Procurement Administrative Lead Time (PALT) measures the number of days procurement takes from acceptance of a ready procurement request by the RCO to the day of award. The PALT table below demonstrates general lead times for commercial acquisition buys and may be used as a guideline for workload planning by the Contracting Officer and the Requirements Official.
