Course Description: This workshop addresses the difference between traditional contracting approaches and Performance-Based approaches in administering contracts. The PWS and QASP are among the most critical documents of the entire Performance-Based contracting process and are heavily discussed and reviewed in this workshop. You will learn how the contractor views PWS and how that impacts your QASP development. You will learn to develop innovative ideas, plans, and strategies, in class, tailored to your organization and designed to empower you to build your documents into dynamic, strong, effective tools to administer your contacts.
