This session is the "Keys to Closeout". The major elements are the bid and proposal stage of contract formation with emphasis on contractual requirements; United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations, as presented the FAR; contractual elements: administration, performance, and payment; administration and documentation requirements: manage, monitor, and maintain; the nightmares of closeout (why so many contracts are in overage status), and simplifications and plan development.

Day in, day out, Procurement Professionals throughout the industry are issuing countless procurement transactions. Whether they are purchase orders, subcontracts, modifications, or task orders, all procurement transactions create documentation. But how do you know that your procurement files are adequately documented? Do you want to wait until your files are selected for a CPSR or internal audit to find out? The purpose of this webinar is to discuss the core elements associated with adequately documenting procurement transactions under a Government contracts. The session will explore the process that DCMA uses to review file documentation and the common issues they observe during CPSR's. J.A.

Our last session is on Subchapter H, Clauses and Forms. Clauses have been discussed in the eight previous sessions as they relate to the specific subject matter of that session. The final session is an overview of Part 52, the matrix, and alternate determinations. As a series end point, Part 53, the forms, and the problems that surround their appropriate use will be addressed. All parts of the FAR are not equal. But the FAR is the major document for the billion dollar plus yearly executive agency spend for supplies, services, and construction. The FAR answers many of the questions and sets out to meet the goal of uniform policies for executive agencies acquisitions paid for with appropriated funds. The FAR language seeks uniformity, fairness, trustworthiness, truth in negotiations and awards, availability to bid, and focuses on a system that protects the spend and encourages the best end-product available. These nine sessions have provided the overview of topics that are frequently taught in multi day classes, available in the classroom, and available virtually. What we spent half an hour on may well be available in a two-day class that is able to get "deep into the weeds" of compliance, implementation, enforcement of rules and regulations. Learning Objectives (After this webinar you will have learned) - How Flowdowns implement control. - How The matrix sets the stage. - How Documentation requires forms. - How Maintenance of documentation is mandatory. - How FAR manages spend and performance.

Whereas Subchapter F may be unnecessary for many contracts, Subchapter G, Contract Management is applicable to all government contracts awarded under the FAR. This session begins with a discussion of administration and audit services. The FAR moves to contract modifications, subcontracting policies and procedures, government property, quality assurance, transportation, value engineering, and termination of contracts. Part 52 clearly addresses appropriate handling of these contract management requirements. These clauses specify the processes required to managing all these special areas. Learning Objectives (After this webinar you will have learned) - How Contract Management under the FAR (Subchapter G) - How Contract management considers money spent. - How Quality is a key requirement. - How to Identify all secondary requirements. - How Termination exercises control.

Subchapter F addresses special categories of contracting. This section is closely aligned with the specific contract and the exact nature of the acquisition. This subchapter clearly includes parts that are totally irrelevant to some contracts. The point is made that there are many regulations that have no effect on the highly specified contracts. This session will address acquiring major systems, research and development, construction and architect-engineer contracts, service contracting, information technology, and utility services. The specialty of contracting for the special category end products has demanded specific Part 52 flowdowns. Learning Objectives (After this webinar you will have learned) - How Special needs exist. - How Process of meeting special needs is unique.

Subchapter E, General Contracting Requirements provides the base for fiscal standard principles, procedures, administration, taxes, and contract financing. This section also deals with patents, data, and copyrights; bonds and insurance; and protests, disputes, and appeals. This session will address cost accounting, payments, certifications, issues of compliance and non-compliance, and contract modifications as laid down in Part 52. Learning Objectives (After this webinar you will have learned) - How Intellectual Property must be protected. - How Cost control is mandatory. - How Cost control standards must be uniform. - How Disputes are common and must be settled.

Session 5 continues with Subchapter D, Socioeconomic Programs with emphasis on Freedom of Information Act; foreign acquisitions that are connected to the Buy American Laws and trade agreements; and other programs for Indian Incentives, Black Colleges and Universities, and disaster programs. Socioeconomic programs and other demands based on fiscal and political breakdowns set the base for decision making in the acquisition world of exceptions and deviations. Part 52 plays a role in "exceptions and deviations", required certifications, and matrix determinations Learning Objectives (After this webinar you will have learned) - How Socioeconomic considerations result in programs. - How Program goals conflict. - How Program practices conflict.
