Every CS makes mistakes, but for me as a CO, the worst mistakes by far are made by lazy Contract Specialists who are trying to find shortcuts. Curious... .what are some of the worst "lazy" mistakes you've seen as a CO?

Hmmm.
On contract awards, my favorites were: using the CAGE code for the wrong awardee; including a price and nothing more in Section B of the award; and leaving the fill-ins blank in the liquidated damages clause.
Also, there was the time that I just wanted to bang heads against the wall when a co-worker sent the Government's negotiation position to the contractor with the e-mail tag-line of "Can you give me a proposal that is priced within this range?"
