226 - Path to Fair Opportunity Part 3

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

This is Part 3 of our mini-series on the “Fair Opportunity” process. Winning the IDIQ contract was the first step. This is the step that counts. Kevin and Paul explain how orders are COMPETED between IDIQ contract holders.  Bottom line, all orders must give a “fair opportunity” for IDIQ contract holders to compete.  But what is "fair" can be different here than in traditional FAR Part 15 competitions.

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.
