Course Objectives:
This one-day seminar will examine Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) from a contractor perspective. Concepts found primarily in the GSA’s on-line tutorial, Seven Steps to Performance Acquisition (PBA), and the DoD’s Guidebook for Performance Based Acquisition are used as a starting point to examine how the contractor should perform within a PBC setting. Classroom activities emphasize small group exercises and group discussions.
These exercises will highlight student concerns and issues associated with PBC. Students will then develop strategies, and techniques to deal with identified concerns through class discussions. Participants should be experienced project managers, team leads, subject matter experts, acquisition support personnel, or other members of the contractor team who have or are currently working on performance-based acquisitions within their company. Six Project Management Institute Professional Development Units (PDUs) are awarded upon completion of this course.
Learn about:
- Understand the basics of PBA and PBC.
- Understand the perspective of government personnel working within the PBA environment.
- Obtain a high-level view of the federal acquisition process as it relates to the bid, selection, and contract management processes.
- Identify top contractor concerns and issues associated with PBC.
- Develop strategies and techniques to deal with selected identified concerns and issues
