Description
Services Acquisition Workshop. A Services Acquisition Workshop (SAW) is a facilitated workshop built around a specific acquisition and its multi-functional integrated process team (MFIPT). The workshop walks the complete team through the service acquisition process from beginning to end as detailed the Defense Acquisition Guidebook, Chapter 14, Acquisition of Services. For more complex, large dollar value, or high interest acquisitions the SAW is conducted as a multi-phase consulting engagement over the course of the sourcing activities. The duration of less complex SAWs generally takes four days to complete. The SAW facilitation team mentors and guides the MFIPT in developing their acquisition planning, market research, performance requirements, request for proposal, source selection, and contractor performance assessment planning and execution documents. For the requirements definition phase the Acquisition Requirements Roadmap Training (ARRT) tool is used to facilitate the development of high level objectives, task statements, performance standards and contractor assessment methods in a structured, disciplined and repeatable manner so that requirements are clear, concise and understandable to all stakeholders, including potential offerors.
Objectives
  • Understand the service acquisition process.
  • Apply and use the ARRTin developing service requirements.
  • Develop specific acquisition related documents i.e. team charter, project plan, stakeholder analysis, performance work statement, quality assurance surveillance plan and an acquisition approach.
