 Course Scope And Special Information

Course Scope:

Proper contract management from initial award through contract closeout requires the coordination of virtually every acquisition competency. Doing it well ensures program success. Doing it poorly guarantees expending a lot more time and effort on a contract when the time and the resources probably aren't available. Acquisition planning, pre-solicitation, and post-solicitation work establish a solid foundation for the award and completion of a contract that will meet or exceed program objectives. Selection of the COTR, COTR responsibilities, requirement's development, contract vehicles, contract evaluation and contract award are some additional topics that will be addressed in this fast moving workshop.

Special Information:

There is no Special Information.
