Subpart D_Authorities and Responsibilities for Making and Administering 
                            Assistance Awards
 
Sec.  21.425  How does a DoD Component's authority flow to awarding and administering activities?

    The Head of a DoD Component, or his or her designee, may delegate to 
the heads of contracting activities (HCAs) within the Component, that 
Component's authority to make and administer awards, to appoint grants 
officers and agreements officers (see Sec. Sec.  21.435 through 21.450), 
and to broadly manage the DoD Component's functions related to 
assistance instruments. The HCA is the same official (or officials) 
designated as the head of the contracting activity for procurement 
contracts, as defined at 48 CFR 2.101. The intent is that overall 
management responsibilities for a DoD Component's functions related to 
nonprocurement instruments be assigned only to officials that have 
similar responsibilities for procurement contracts.
