SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Negotiation Strategies in Federal Contracting
DESCRIPTION:Negotiating with the federal government can seem challenging and\, at times\, even frustrating.  Negotiators must not only be familiar with the positions and motivations of the Government\, they must also know and understand the rules and regulations that govern the negotiation process in federal procurements.  Further\, the scope of what is negotiable can vary.  Negotiations conducted as part of a pre-award competitive procurement for construction or for commercial items may be much more limited than the negotiations conducted for procurement of research and development or conducted in a sole source or post-award environment.  Join us and learn about negotiating with the federal government and how the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) could impact your negotiations. \nSpeaker: Carol Murphy\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.  \nView a schedule of all upcoming Acquisition Hour webinars.

SUMMARY:Emerging Issues: Vetting and securing your supply chain
DESCRIPTION:This series\, WPI’s Emerging Issues Series\, is intended as an information tool and resource for contract managers and those with a compliance function. The topics selected for the initial group of Webinars are just some of the important topics. Some have not held the spotlight like others but nevertheless they are important. Others\, such as Innovation and AI have recently emerged and have shown that they are not just a passing curiosity but truly topics of importance that will continue to impact DoD policy and provide procurement opportunities. These topics included in our first group\, are current topics that need attention and need to be addressed. We expect that over time other issues – topics will emerge and come to the forefront. As these topics are identified we will add them to this series. \nDetermining what information is needed to design a data driven process to understand and vet your supply chain. Creating a standard review process\, data sharing agreements and records which should be maintained. \nPresenter: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the list of Emerging Issues webinar\, please click here. \n\nWPI is Wisconsin’s APEX Accelerator
