Contract Closeout for Government and Industry: December 17-18, 2007, Atlanta, GA

About This Workshop:

One of the least performed functions in the federal acquisition cycle is contract closeout. This important task is also one of the least understood, but simplest to perform. The closeout process is one that protects the government’s rights and can lead to the recovery of government funds.

This in-depth, hands- on course is geared for the contracting professional who is responsible for the closeout of contracts and the recovery of funds and property.

This course will provide an understanding of the federal requirements for contract closeout, as well as closeout planning and processes. Students will learn the key players in the closeout process and gain an understanding of contract closeout principles and strategies. Real life examples and forms will enable the students to return to their workplace with the knowledge and ability to perform contract closeout.

This course is taught by a knowledgeable, skilled instructor, having a wealth of hands-on, practical experience in performing and presenting this topic. This course will use lectures, class exercises, and assignments to work on while away from class. This approach of participative learning will ensure that each student returns to work with improved skills and confidence in applying the lessons learned.

Methods of Instruction: Lecture, exercises and student involvement.

Intended for Government and Industry.
 

Contract Management for Program Managers and Project Officers: January 9-10 2008, Denver, CO

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.
 


Contract Management for Program Managers and Project Officers: January 30- February 1, 2008, Arlington, VA
With Special Emphasis on the Responsibilities of the Project Officer / Program Manager in the Acquisition Cycle


About This Workshop:

Successful federal government contracting requires that members of the team, both Government and Contractor, are able to work effectively together. Working together effectively requires a basic understanding of the Federal acquisition process, its rules and relationships and individual roles and responsibilities. Mastering this understanding is critical to the success of both Government and Contractor

This in-depth, hands on course is geared for the non-contracting professional, such as Program Managers and Project Managers, who desire to understand the process and master their roles and responsibilities in the government acquisition process.

This course will provide an understanding for both government and contractor personnel, of the history and structure of federal contracting, the acquisition process, how a determination is made for competitive or non-competitive procurement, market research, the relationship of payment and performance risk to the type of contract chosen, contractor selection and award. Students will leave this course with an understanding of the functions of contract administration, including monitoring contractor performance, how delays and interruptions are handled, contract modifications and changes, the contract dispute process, contract terminations and finally contract closeout activities.

This course is taught by a knowledgeable, skilled instructor, having a wealth of hands-on, practical experience in presenting this topic. This course will use lectures, class exercises, and assignments to work on while away from class. This approach of participative learning will ensure that each student returns to work with improved skills and confidence in applying the lessons learned

Methods of Instruction: Lecture, exercises and student involvement.
