This course provides both government and industry perspectives on contract administration and performance management. Students will build a toolkit of essential skills for ensuring that contractors deliver products and services in accordance with contract requirements, and for taking appropriate action when performance issues or changes occur. Key topics include conducting post-award orientations, monitoring contractor performance and quality, handling contract modifications (both within scope changes and supplemental agreements), and managing government-furnished property and payments.
The course also poses and answers critical questions that contracting personnel face after award: How do you administer a contract day-to-day? What steps do you take if the scope needs to change? How do you ensure the contractor’s work meets quality standards? What are the procedures if there’s a dispute or if a termination is necessary? Through case studies and discussions, participants will explore resolution of contractual issues such as disputes, claims, or terminations for default or convenience. They will also learn the procedures for contract closeout, including final audits, reconciliations, and contractor performance evaluations.
This course has a prerequisite
CON1100: Contract Foundational Skills is a prerequisite for this course (students should have baseline contracting knowledge before focusing on post-award). Participants must also complete CON1200 and CON1300.
