Full Title: FAR Creep! How to Prevent Familiarity of the FAR from Crippling Innovative Contracting Such as OTAs
Live webinars hosted by the NCMA Headquarter's Learning Center are 90-minute sessions (60 minutes of live instructor-led training followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.) Participants will receive a recording that is accessible for 30 days following the live session.
Date and Time: August 12, Noon-1:30 PM Eastern Time
Webinar Description: Contracting professionals often fear that requirements creep will invade their contracts and programs. Presented with opportunities to break free from the chains of over-regulation, contracting professionals often fall into this same trap by allowing the FAR to creep into deals where it does not belong. During this webinar, the presenter will share lessons and checks & balances for working in the trenches. Learn to stay within appropriate statutory bounds without losing the creativity needed to move efficiently through the nontraditional acquisition world.
