| Technical Representative |
A Technical Representative (Tech Rep) is an individual at the Lab who oversees the technical aspects of a subcontract and is responsible for division closeout activities.
The ePro requisition Technical Representative field is required for all requisitions that have a service-related Item Category except "Services Not Otherwise Listed."

Tech Reps can be involved with the following activities:
Define the technical requirements of the subcontract.
Provide technical direction for the subcontract.
Work with Procurement to determine when a subcontract modification is required and participate in negotiating subcontract changes.
Review and approve all documentation produced or used in subcontract performance.
