About This Workshop

This workshop is designed to guide Program Managers and non-Contracting personnel through the steps involved with Government Contracting. During the workshop, you will briefly review the phases of an acquisition beginning at Marketing through Contract Closeout. As a manager or administrative personnel involved in a project, sometimes your hardest job is understanding the rules you need to follow and the steps to fostering a successful relationship with your internal and external Contracting and Government counterparts. Contracting for Program Managers will explain the roles of all participants in the process and tie the responsibilities back to the FAR and its overarching principles.

Topics include: Source Selection, Protests, Contract Invoicing, Contract Modifications, Contract Disputes, Government Ethics Rules, Socioeconomic programs, Award Fees, Incentive Fees, COTR roles, etc. By the end of the workshop, you will feel more comfortable with your role – and the role of others - in the Contracting process.

Contracting for Program Managers is taught by an instructor who has had experience with the FAR as both a government Contracting Officer and a Contracts Manager for a defense contractor. She will utilize class participation, exercises, and collective experience to make your learning experience successful.
