Concept to Practice: Federal Procurement Standards

August 27, 2024

Looking for a crash course in federal procurement?  This three-hour presentation covers all aspects of the federal procurement standards, and is specifically designed to build step-by-step from core compliance obligations to practical implementation steps and tools.  In this module, Feldesman attorney Scott S. Sheffler, will translate the compliance obligations established at 2 C.F.R. 200.317 through 200.327 into plain language, and from their into actionable management strategies, tasks, and tools.  This presentation will cover:

  • Background legal obligations;
  • Procurement policy drafting and implementation;
  • Basic procurement processes, including competition and sole sourcing rules;
  • Federally funded contract drafting; and
  • Advanced procurement strategies.

Sample tools will be provided as part of the course and will serve as a basis for practical portions of the presentation.  Questions are welcome throughout!
