Correct selection of contract type is largely a result of perception of risks and is crucial to the success of an acquisition. This course provides an overview of the contract types used most frequently in federal contracting as well as the basic principles and limitations governing their use. Project managers will leave the class understanding the conditions in which to use different contract types. While the Contractor Officer makes the final determination of the appropriate contract type, project managers and technical personnel will leave the class understanding the conditions in which to use different contract types and will be able to discuss the appropriate type of contract for their acquisitions.
