About the Planning and Conducting a Best Value Source Selection Workshop
Efficiently planning and conducting a best value source selection is critical to acquiring the goods and services needed by agencies to meet their mission objectives. Successfully managing the FAR Part 15 process, however, requires in-depth knowledge of the statutes, regulations and best practices that exist to ensure the source selection is fair, credible and that the best value contractor is ultimately selected. From establishing the right evaluation factors to debriefing the unsuccessful offerors, it is essential that each member of the acquisition team possess the skills and knowledge necessary to actively contribute at each step in the process. For industry, understanding the government’s source selection process will help promote more focused, customer-friendly proposals that better display the key benefits and value of the proposed solution.
In Planning and Conducting a Successful Best Value Source Selection, you’ll learn the techniques for selecting and composing meaningful evaluation factors and proposal submission instructions that will ensure a streamlined and highly-efficient source selection. You’ll understand the specific roles and responsibilities of each evaluation team – technical, management, business and past performance. And you will learn the requirements and various techniques in conducting a cost-technical tradeoff analysis and making the final decision. The course is practical and built around a multitude of hands-on exercises and case studies – you will leave with new-found skills that can be immediately applied on the job. Finally, you will receive a course manual containing many useful references, examples and templates that can be used long after you have completed the class.

About the Government Law For Non-Lawyers Who Need to Know Contract Law Workshop
Understanding government contract law is the lynchpin to being an effective contract professional. Without this understanding you expose yourself and your organization to possible legal entanglements.
The Government Contract Law Workshop takes you through the purpose, interpretation, applicability, legal and administrative ramifications of the clauses, statutes, executive orders and regulations applicable to Government prime contracts and subcontracts.
You'll get a primer in "preventive" contract law to help you avoid legal problems and to handle them swiftly and effectively if they do arise. The major decisions of the Boards of Contract Appeals, the Comptroller General, and the Courts are examined. The rights and responsibilities of the Government and the prime contractor and the specific problems of the prime and subcontractor relationship are explained. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its relationship to the current agency regulations will be covered in detail.
Learning Objectives
- Use legal requirements to positively affect contract performance
- Minimize legal reviews
- Know what you can and can't do
- Protect your interests with key legal precedents
- Reduce the potential for claims & disputes upfront
- Avoid other legal entanglements
This workshop is recommended for 24 Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) toward DAWIA/FAC-C requirements. A Government*Horizons "Certificate of Completion" will be provided to all attendees upon conclusion of the workshop.
This class uses a mix of learning approaches including practical experience from classroom exercises, case studies and discussion from these subjects:
