This course provides a comprehensive overview of the laws, government policies and regulations – including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) – that apply to subcontracts and subcontract management. With all of the changes that have occurred in procurement, this course is a must for keeping subcontracting activities efficient, profitable and in compliance with government requirements.

Created for government representatives, subcontractors and prime contractors, the course details the subcontracting provisions contained in the FAR. The course also covers key issues of subcontracting today, such as flow-downs, pricing, disputes, payments and terminations. Cases and real-world examples are used to illustrate the application of laws, regulations and management principles and to provide practical solutions to problems frequently encountered by subcontractors and prime contractors.

“The instructor was very knowledgeable about the course material and gave practical, real-life applications of various concepts that kept the class engaged in the scenario or subcontract issue he was explaining! I thoroughly enjoyed this course and gained lots of knowledge I can use in my daily work environment.”
