Introduction to FAR - Federal Acquisition
Regulations Overview
January 7
- 9, 2009 Arlington, VA
Introduction to FAR
is intended for students interested in gaining a
basic understanding of how to most effectively use
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Although
the FAR is a very detailed and complex regulation,
contracting parties in the federal Government
marketplace must know the terms and conditions of
the contracts they enter into. This course will
improve the ability of students to select the right
clauses, identify the correct procedures and improve
their bargaining position during negotiations. In
addition, students will learn how to keep up with
changes to the FAR so they can always be sure that
they have the latest and most relevant information.

Managing a Blended Workforce - Best Practices for
Oversight, Ethics and Security in the Mixed
Government-Contractor Workplace
February 26, 2009 Arlington, VA ◊ June 11, 2009
Arlington, VA
The significant expansion of service-based
contracting demands that managers and government
employees possess basic understanding of contract
administration procedures and best practices for
supervisor’s leading blended workforces. In most
organizations there is no specialized preparation
specifically designed to prepare non-acquisition
employees and managers for leading mixed
government-contractor teams. As the government
increasingly uses commercial augmentation to perform
many of its most basic functions, it is critically
important that all employees understand the rules,
expectations and boundaries that define the
government-contractor relationship.
