TLO

A Task Lead Officer is the government representative responsible for day-to-day oversight and coordination of work performed under a specific task order. The TLO serves as the primary point of contact for contractor task order performance, similar to a COR role but specific to individual task orders.

TLOs monitor progress, review deliverables, coordinate with the contractor's task lead, and report performance issues to the Contracting Officer. On large IDIQ contracts with multiple concurrent task orders, each task order may have a designated TLO while a program-level COR maintains overall contract oversight. Effective TLO relationships are essential for successful task order performance.
