DAU successfully completed the student pilot for SBP 202, Intermediate Small Business Programs, Part B, at its Capital and Northeast Region campus on Ft. Belvoir from October 17 - 21, 2016. This new course is a Level II Certification course required for the new Small Business Career Field. Nineteen (19) students from across the country and representing all of the Services and the 4th Estate participated in the pilot. The instructors were Ms. Sherry Freeman and Ms. Gigi Fordham. This is the 3rd classroom course piloted for new Small Business Professionals (SBP) in this new Small Business Career Field. SBP 201 is a prerequisite for SBP 202.
SBP 202 is a highly interactive course that prepares mid-level Small Business Professionals to work effectively with acquisition teams throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Students demonstrate their comprehension of concepts introduced in SBP 201 by completing a series of activities typical of what they will do on the job, including devising a market research strategy; developing a supported, justified acquisition strategy based on the market research; contributing to solicitation documents, training a source selection evaluation board in the evaluation standards for a given solicitation, evaluating small business elements of a proposal; reviewing subcontracting plans; and creating a post-award briefing. As a capstone to the course, students will help each other in resolving small business issues that they are currently confronting in their agencies.
This course was developed in conjunction with the DoD Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) and their contractor development team, as well as DoD OSBP subject matter experts.
We (DAU) anticipate to deploy SBP 202 in the second quarter of FY 2017. A future announcement will be made informing you of the SBP 202 schedule so that students will be able to register for the 2017 course offerings. I would like to thank the entire development team who are still currently working the changes coming out of the pilot as well as the students who attended the pilot course. We deeply appreciate the feedback from the students in the pilot as we work to provide the best product available to the Small Business Career Field workforce and the Acquisition workforce.
Please check back here in the next few months to find out when you will be able to register to take this exciting new course!!
