Course content and instructional techniques are designed to provide participants with a knowledge and understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)/Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR) that students will apply from “cradle to grave” scenarios; contingency contracting and practical experience on contracting software; application of program management principles to cover development, cost, schedule and performance of a new weapon system program; and intermediate contract cost and pricing principles used for simple to complex contract awards. The classroom presentations will emphasize principles, demonstrate techniques of analysis, and illustrate typical applications of the analytical techniques. Each area of instruction is accompanied by practical exercises which are expected to be worked in the group problem solving sessions as well as outside of the scheduled class time. These exercises, examinations given during class, and case studies are graded to determine the student’s comprehension and mastery of the material. This course will provide DAU-equivalent DAWIA level 2 certification training in contracting. This intermediate contracting course emphasizes Army doctrine and Army-unique system acquisition procedures and organizations throughout its curriculum.
