Attend GWAC Delegation of Procurement Authority Training

Before issuing task orders on a GSA GWAC, federal contracting officers must complete training and receive a Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA). You can attend training for a specific GWAC or schedule a combined training session if you want a DPA for two or more of GSA’s GWACs.

Training sessions last approximately 30 minutes to one hour and some venues offer Continuous Learning Points. We offer training in several venues:

What does the training cover?

  • Scope
  • Ordering process
