Course Description

The major objective of this class is for the Acquisition and Technical Communities to better understand the key functions of source selection and negotiation and be able to use them well in contracting with a vendor. This introduction to the lifecycle approach gives the participants a full picture of what it takes to successfully use technical evaluation and negotiation. In addition, we will track all topics presented here using current Acquisition policy concerns. At the end of this three day interactive session, participants will come away with a clearer “forest through the trees” perspective knowing where the “trees” are for further learning. This class counts toward the FAC-COTR or FAC-P/PM Certification.
