Course
Description
This FAI-compliant course is the second
of a three-part series in Intermediate Contracting designed
to provide experienced, intermediate-level contracting
personnel with skills beyond those taught in the Fundamentals
of Contracting curriculum.
Contract Formation II discusses the solicitation and
award activities required to form a government contract
in more detail than Contract Formation I. Additionally,
the course addresses a number of special topics that
are not discussed in Contract Formation I.
The course is designed around a comprehensive set of
learning objectives that are achieved through lecture-discussion,
practical exercises, and case study techniques.
The target audience for this course consists of personnel
involved in the contract specialist (GS-1102) career
path. Others involved in the formation of contracts
could also benefit. A minimum of one year of experience
in the contracting field is recommended as preparation
for this course.
