Sec. 644.64  Award of contracts.

    (a) Contract Awards. Contract awards will be made only by duly 
qualified contracting officers in accordance with applicable procurement 
regulations.
    (b) Review of Title Evidence Contracts. The Contracting Officer, if 
an employee of the Real Estate Division, or otherwise the Real Estate 
representative designated by the Division or District Engineer, will 
review contracts for title evidence. If this review is made by a Real 
Estate employee other than a Contracting Officer, he will advise the 
Contracting Officer relative thereto. The Contracting Officer or the 
Real Estate representative will ascertain that the Department of Justice 
has approved the bidder, and the contract will not be awarded to any 
bidder not so approved. The Contracting Officer or the Real Estate 
representative who is to advise him, will familiarize himself with 
``Standards for the Preparation of Title Evidence in Land Acquisitions 
by the United States,'' issued by the Department of Justice, 1970.
    (c) Distribution. Upon acceptance, copies of title evidence 
contracts will be distributed in the same manner as other contracts.
