Intro to Acquisition 101

  • Tim Kohlrus

    • Hello,

    Wondering how someone would begin teaching Acquisitions 101, whether it’s a contractor or federal employee, in a 90 minute course or the major elements?  It can take years to really master it but how would you begin to describe it. 

    Almost like describing a sport to a 6 year old

    Here’s a very rough draft and would be interested in some thoughts: 

    Class 1: Intro to Acquisitions

    -what is acquisitions/procurement?

    -describe the FAR (U.S.C., HSAM, DFARS)

    -what is a contract?

    -definition of a contract

    -procurement type (ffp, t&m, cpff)

    -govt contract types (Idiq, vendor, assisted and unassisted IAA, RA, p cards, sf-182)

    -roles (CO, COR, PM, stakeholders)

    -sample award example

     

    Exercise- identify elements of sample award 

    Scenarios, client is going to use what govt contract type

    Thanks!
