Description
This one-day elective course is designed to provide foundational knowledge of the FAR to government personnel entering the 1102/Contracting career field, or having work associated with acquisitions. This course provides a brief introduction to many of the topics when working with acquisitions and includes some application exercises. The focus will be a brisk paced exposure to “what key parts of the FAR does a procurement specialist need to be familiar with in order to perform their job?” The goal is not to cover every part of the FAR in detail, or agency specific areas.
