C. 20548 .N ITt0 FILE: B-210334 DATE: July 1A, 1983 MATTER OF: Carroll-Donahue Associates DIGEST: Civilian Personnel Officer at the U.S. Army Reserve Component Personnel and Administrative Center rather than the Contracting Officer procured training by a non-Government facility. Where the Center accepted the training services and received a benefit therefrom, payment may be made on the basis of quantum meruit provided that an authorized contracting official recommends payment.

The training course, at a cost of $890, was approved by the Civilian Personnel Officer at the Center by DD Form 1556, Request, Authorization, Agreement, Certification of Training and Reimbursement, dated July 20, 1982. The course on labor relations for Federal supervisors and managers was conducted at the Center on July 19 and 20, 1982.

The basis for this view is that the training was authorized by the Civilian Personnel Officer and not by a contracting officer in accordance with regular contract procedures. Although the regular procurement procedures should have been followed to obtain the training course, payment to Carroll-Donahue may be made on the basis of quantum meruit provided that an authorized contracting official recommends payment. By DD Form 1556, Request, Authorization, Agreement, Certification of Training and Reimbursement, dated July 20,
