The COE manages all Capital Planning Investment Control (CPIC), Enterprise Architecture (EA), and security requirements for its partners, as well as ensuring compliance with the Clinger Cohen Act (CCA) of 1996.

The biggest administrative service is the production of an annual OMB Exhibit 300. This includes documenting:

Contract Estimates

Risk Management Plan

Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB)

Alternatives Analysis

Enterprise Architecture Model

Performance Metrics

Earned Value Metrics

The COE also supports frequent security audits. The security team works closely with auditors and reviews comments and findings with the appropriate COE staff and/or contractors to fix any problems. The COE has passed all external audits since 2005 without receiving a single significant weakness determination. These audits include the mandatory CFO and FISMA audits, as well as the voluntary SAS70, and A-123 audits.

The COE will also produce the following documentation, as needed, to satisfy American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements:
