Provides comprehensive coverage of the FAR for new users and an ad vanced treatment of specific issues for experienced contract professional s. Course includes an explanation and demonstration of how to use the FAR online for research, reference, and updating. The Federal Acquisition Re gulation (FAR) directly affects the purchase and sale of over $200 billio n worth of supplies, services and construction each year by federal and s tate procurement offices. This critically important document is comprehen sive, complex, and continually changing. All contract professionals invol ved in a FAR-based procurement must have a detailed working knowledge of the FAR to ensure that they are getting the best possible contract and th at they are in full compliance with all applicable laws. This course is d esigned to address these challenges in a highly practical and use-friendl y way. As the name indicates, this course is a Workshop. The instructor a nd students will work through practical exercises specifically designed t o demonstrate how to work with the FAR. Students will develop and refine the skills necessary to apply the FAR to virtually any acquisition situat ion. The FAR provides considerable flexibility in many aspects of federal procurement. Often, however, buyers and sellers are unfamiliar with the range of discretion in the FAR. This course will distinguish between thos e sections of the FAR that are mandatory and those that allow the parties to structure the contract to fit the situation. The course will also cov er court and board decisions that have interpreted the most important FAR clauses. Such knowledge can provide a significant business advantage to those who understand how a particular FAR clause is likely to be interpre ted in litigation. Since most users of the FAR access it through their co mputers, this course will include a computer demonstration of various tec hniques for searching and updating the FAR. Although not necessary to enj oy the full benefit of the course, students are invited to bring their la ptops. Both a paperback desk copy and an electronic version of the FAR wi ll be provided to each participant.
