Course Description

With the increasing pressure on the federal government to make contractors more accountable, a growing response has been to enlist the support of a team of technical & procurement personnel with ever greater frequency. These persons are being asked to do a wider array of contract administration functions as well as becoming more knowledgeable about how contractors are selected. This course is tailored to reflect the current duties and challenges this "team" faces: increasing emphasis on quality, better relationships between contractor and Government personnel and between technical support personnel and procurement, as well as stronger project management practices applied to contract management. In addition, the learning will occur in the context of greater understanding and facility with actual contracts and task orders in the face of evolving procurement policy. This class counts toward the FAC-COTR or FAC-P/PM Certification.
