International Contract Management

TBD

The basic course on international contract management will provide information on contracting with the US federal government and the federal procurement system. The training will focus on the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR); uniform guidance for federal grants (Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations); types of contracts and agreements issued by the government; the basics of managing federal agreements; managing federal funds and reporting requirements. During this 8-week training period, we will also discuss how to establish subcontracting and vendor agreements with local small businesses interested in assisting you in fulfilling your mission.
