FREE: GovCon 101 – Commercial Product and Service Determinations

Optional: If seeking credit or a certificate of completion, $45 accreditation fee.

Commercial product and service determinations are some of the most common and expeditiously accomplished acquisition actions undertaken in the Federal Government and yet they can be among the most controversial.  This is evidenced by the significant effort put into development of a guidebook by the largest Federal procurement organization – DoD – to assist acquisition officials with their decisions and also offer guidance to suppliers on how to support their assertions.  Listen to one of the former DoD officials who established the DCMA Commercial Item Group describe the challenges faced by both buyer and seller of commercial products and services in the acquisition arena.
