About This Workshop

This three-day course will assist agencies in meeting their performance-based contracting goals. The course provides a step-by-step analysis that will enable you to successfully conduct a performance-based acquisition and minimize the risk of protest. Topics include: overview of the performance based acquisition process, identification and explanation of the key instances for performance based requirements, development of those requirements including stronger program rationale, description of work, definitive outputs, and forming and using performance metrics. Learn a step by step approach you can use to get the right requirements defined at the right time so that better contractors can be chosen and stronger performance can occur.
