If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)

Learn from a professional proposal manager! Kevin interviews Wendy Freidman, a veteran proposal manager who also happens to hold the NCMA’s Certified Professional Contract Manager (CPCM) designation. We’re thrilled to bring Wendy’s experience and “outside” view to the podcast.

Kevin and Wendy discuss the difference between preparation and planning with regard to proposals for Government acquisitions. Learn how incomplete of communication regarding the release date for a Government Request for Proposal can create chaos for Industry and the very real people involved in proposal writing.

Wendy shares deep insight into the distraction that RFP rumors can create for the Industry proposal team and why written direction from the Contracting Officer is priceless.

Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting. It is not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession. Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.
