Acquisition reform and streamlining
is revolutionizing the way the government and industry
conduct business. There are many new factors to consider
in contracting by negotiation, source selection and
contract pricing. Course 651 covers (1) performance-based
contracting; (2) the use of statements of objectives
and contractor-developed statements of work; (3) the
use of oral proposals; (4) more flexible source selection
approaches for the government; (5) past performance
evaluation; and (6) risk identification and mitigation.
This is a completely integrated, well
documented course covering the rationale, methods and
techniques involved, from the development of requirements
to final source selection, negotiation and contract
award.
Students work with case studies of
performance requirements and specifications, statements
of work, evaluation factors and weights, past performance,
risk analysis, cost realism and the use of best value
discriminators in making a selection decision.
