In today's podcast, a replay from a recent Youtube live where I pulled up on the screen a DAU slide deck, which was labeled "Contracting Process for Acquisitions". What we discussed over the next 60 minutes with a live audience is the contracting process for acquisitions which includes pre-solicitation, solicitation award, and post award.

And so you'll hear me discussing that with a live audience and in between I also took questions from the audience and so I hope that you enjoy this particular episode.

SBPs must understand the type of acquisition applicable to any new and/or recurring requirements and follow those governing policies and regulations accordingly.
