Government contracting is increasingly becoming more results-oriented.  The soon to be released rules defined under the revised OMB Circular A-76 are designed to make the process for managing public-private competitions and direct conversion outsourcing more streamlined, cost-efficient and performance-based.  The cutting-edge seven step process developed by the Department of Commerce and leading government procurement officers has simplified and streamlined the implementation of PBSC in governmental settings.  The implementation of seven step process is one of the most efficient ways to achieve the goals defined in the President’s Management Agenda (PMA), including inclusion of competition targets and outsourcing initiatives. 

To assist your agency in implementing these changes and requirements, you are invited to join Administration officials, competitive sourcing managers and national PBSC experts on April 24-25, 2003, at the 2003 Performance-Based Contracting conference.

Acquire Best Practice Models for Performance-Based Contracting in Government

Performance-Based Contracting is focused on the cutting-edge, seven-step process of performance-based contracting. One of the most important challenges facing agencies today is the need for widespread adoption of performance-based acquisition in order to meet mission and program needs.  Performance-based service acquisition can be challenging; it is filled with discussions of work breakdown structures, quality assurance plans, and contractor surveillance.  You will be given new insight into developing a contract that actually defines what the goals of the contract are and provides for improved accountability and communication among all players in the contracting process. 

Attend a comprehensive walk through of each of the seven steps of performance-based acquisition and learn how to implement these steps into your agency’s acquisition plan.  Topics that will be discussed during this conference include the development of a performance work statement (PWS) or statement of objectives (SOO), learn how to select the right contractor and decide how to measure and manage performance.  Turn to the leaders in PBSC to ensure you are fully prepared for the future by attending the 2003 Performance-Based Contracting conference.
