CON 280 Source Selection and Administration of Service Contracts
 Description
This course builds on the foundation established through the Level I curriculum and the course prerequisites. The primary focus is on the acquisition of services under FAR Part 15 procedures, with an emphasis on performance-based acquisitions (PBA) for services, contract types, contract incentives, source selection, and contract administration. Students will learn the fundamentals of a performance based service acquisition -- from acquisition planning to contract closeout through a realistic case study. The course takes students through the solicitation process and detailed source selection procedures using the recently released DOD Source Selection Guide. Students will prepare contractual documents, and develop and deliver high-level source selection briefings with recommendations for contract award.
