Course: Using GSA Schedules for Professional Services - This will be approximately five hours on advanced usage of GSA Schedules and will be presented by a CO from The GSA acquisition center that manages most of our professional services contracts. In addition, they are adding a section on "Greening" your federal contracts. Here is a class summary:

Summary: This training seminar covers the contracting issues raised by ordering agency Contracting Officers in procuring professional services from the GSA Schedules. After defining the scope of the GSA professional service schedules, we review the Request for Quotation (RFQ) and Task Order award processes, particularly the differences between FAR Subpart 8.4 and FAR Part 15 procedures. The Schedule contract itself, including Schedule contract clauses, will be examined. We then explore how to use Contractor Teaming Agreements and Blanket Purchase Agreements for complex or recurring services.

This FAR-based training is tailored for those in the GS-1102 Contract Specialist/Officer series, agency Program Managers and others who generate service contract requirements, plan service contract acquisitions, and conduct market research for professional service procurements can also benefit. I make frequent reference to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and we assume some familiarity with elementary GSA Schedules program terminology and basic FAR-based ordering terminology/procedures. This training is certified for 5.0 Continuous Learning Points.
