Description

Technical personnel play a vital role in acquiring equipment, systems, and support services by contract for the Government. As Project Officers, they prepare the work statement; evaluate proposals; recommend source selection; and, as the appointed Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), review, guide and direct the contractor's performance. Program success relies upon their informed and timely input. Effective contracting requires that technical personnel possess and correctly apply technical and administrative skills. Most technical personnel become involved in acquisitions because of their technical expertise. This course looks to improving agency acquisitions and contractor performance by enhancing their knowledge and practical application of contracting principles.

Key Topics

  • Identify their responsibilities in the acquisition process;
  • Develop an acquisition plan;
  • Prepare key elements of a performance-based work statement, source selection criteria, and technical proposal instructions;
  • Recognize the requirements for full and open competition, use of required sources, and small business set-aside goals and programs;
  • Observe solicitation constraints;
  • Understand their input to the source selection process;
  • Plan for quality and schedule assurance, select the appropriate remedy for nonconforming or delinquent performance, and prepare contractor performance evaluation reports;
  • Support timely execution of contract actions;
  • Know and appreciate standards of procurement ethics; and
  • Develop a legally sound and technically productive business relationship with the contractor.
