“What Do I Need To Know To Help My Organization Get On Contract?“

A 3 Day Workshop For Government Employees

The Government is changing the way it thinks about and actually acquires services. To implement these changes, agencies will need to train not only the acquisition workforce on this new focus but also those who establish requirements, write Performance Work Statements, and work in any other area of government that deals with contractors.

Agencies need to train their functional people in the basics of acquiring services and interacting effectively with the commercial sector, since, as the government workforce continues to shrink, more people will be involved in developing performance requirements, writing the PWS’s, and managing contractors.
