THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF CONTRACTING
Does it sometimes feel like even your family doesn’t understand what you do? Why doesn’t anyone seem to appreciate the complexities of
contracting? Just type it up, right? Participate in this unique panel of media representatives who translate contracting news of the day to a wider
government and industry audience for a tongue-in-cheek look at how contracting is viewed by others in government as well as the public at
large. Improving the outsider understanding of contract managers is a great leap toward effective communication with all concerned.

MASTERING THE FUNDAMENTALS
SUBCONTRACT MANAGEMENT FROM A TO Z
Speaker: Roy Nyquist, CPCM, Fellow
Speaker: Donald Shannon, CPCM, CFCM, Fellow
JIM KIRLIN
Contract changes are inevitable and must be
anticipated and properly managed. Contract
Changes, Disputes, and Terminations—
Mastering the Fundamentals provides the
information you need to handle any and all
ambiguities, differences of opinion, or potential and real conflicts between the parties.
These can arise by verbal discussion, letter, the proposal,
the basic contract, or any of its subsequent modifications.
They can involve everything from the interpretation of the
statement of work to the minutes of a meeting. Changes
can also come from various sources—some with the
authority to make them and sometimes not. They can
impact the success of your contract as well as the
relationship between the parties.
Subcontract Management From A to Z
examines the subject of subcontract
management in the U.S. federal
government environment, and is unique
in its focus on the topics that make
subcontract management different under
a prime government contract.
SUBCONTRACT MANAGEMENT FROM A TO Z
Room: Dallas 7
Room: Dallas 5
The significance of the practice of
subcontract management cannot be
understated. It is an essential function
of the American contracting system. The
reasons for its importance are many, as
are the responsibilities of
subcontract managers.
Subcontract Management From A to Z is a
one-day National Education Seminar (NES)
that presents subcontract management in the
U.S. federal government environment. Subcontract management under a government prime
contract is a hybrid between the company’s
commercial subcontracting requirements and
the federal government’s subcontracting requirements. This
seminar is unique in its focus on the topics that make subcontract management different under a prime government
contract.

EDUCATION TRACKS
BUSINESS COMPETENCY TRACKS (CMBOK 5.0):
Engaged 1102s. Acquisition professionals’ ability to comply with regulations without very time consuming
workarounds depends on a system proven effective by other 1102s. PRISM has been proven easy-to-learn
and effective by over 50,000 federal acquisition professionals.
Empowered Policymakers. Policymakers need the fexibility to make policy changes and the ability to
drive compliance. PRISM is the only contract-writing system that provides policymakers fexibility while
preserving control.
Confdent Acquisition Leaders. Budget, morale, and ultimately agencies’ missions can be damaged by
contract-writing-system delays, outages, and shortcomings. The initial operating capability, uptime, ROI,
and overall track record of PRISM are unrivaled.

Every contracting professional dreads when the question “Is that really in the contract?” pops up. We hope that everything in the contract is
clear, but when it isn’t, beware. Often a term, clause, product description, or service could have had a clearer explanation. This session will
take a look at instances where this can happen and provide tools and
approaches for these issues when they arise.

Cynthia Zieman, MPP, CPCM, Sr Acquisition Analyst, Integrity
Management Consulting
Standardization and centralized systems and processes drive efficiencies that lead to cost savings and greater quality. However, a measured approach is needed. This session will discuss how a measured
approach to standardization balances the needs of seasoned and
new contracting officers to avoid starting each new requirement from
scratch, but have flexibility to tailor contracts to their particular project.
THE REAL REASON PRICE MATTERS
Session A08 « Cost & Price Analysis « Texas 1 « Basic
Jason Rupinski, Price-to-Win Strategist, Leidos
An integral part of the proposal process is the cost/price volume; yet,
often this is the last volume to get completed. Review the government
versus business definitions of cost and price, followed by an exploration why cost/price really matters. Learn to identify how and why
each section of the uniform contract format impacts cost/price and
the implications on your business. Also, hear about common cost/
price volume mistakes and considerations in achieving a compliant
submission.

Agency mission success depends upon, among other things, a
healthy, mature, efficient, and effective procurement office. An effective procurement office, in turn, requires a strong policy framework as
a foundation. Developing a policy framework that enables an effective
procurement office requires a number of things, including defining the
policy development process, developing a “policy on policy,” engaging
stakeholders, proper training, and capturing research and findings.

Paperless contracting is the process of acquiring products and administering grants using modern information technology and paper only by
exception. Based on the experiences of leading agencies, those who are
a bit behind can be confident that paperless contracting will drive better
deals, productivity increases, and compliance—and capture tacit knowledge. There are common challenges (e.g., reluctance to change, security
concerns), but best practices address them and continue to strengthen.

Federal acquisition professionals struggle to make rational cost/

Session B01 « Small Business Programs « Austin 4/5 «
Intermediate
G. Thomas Benton, Senior Procurement Analyst, GSA/FAS
Office of Acquisition Management
Federal agencies who utilize the GSA Multiple Award Schedules
(MAS) have always had the capability to count dollars awarded to
qualified small businesses toward their agency’s socioeconomic
goals. However, prior to Nov 2011, small business set-asides were
not allowed under Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Section 1331
of the 2010 Jobs Act changed this scenario by implementing the
ability to conduct small business set-asides within the MAS Program.
This session unlocks all the answers to your GSA SB set-aside
questions.

The basis of estimate (BOE) is too often treated as a “nice-to-have”

Price communicates more than just the offer’s bottomline number for
goods or services; it provides an offeror’s commitment that carries
with it an implied understanding of the customer, the competition, and
the company’s assessment of the work and associated risks involved
in completing the contemplated effort. For this reason, pricing is not
a last-minute artifact of an offeror’s proposal but a detailed and well–
thought out strategy involving the discipline of price-to-win!

Juanita Rendon, CPA, Lecturer of Accounting, U.S. Naval

Having adequate financial resources to meet the requirements of a
contract is crucial. Therefore, conducting a financial analysis on a contractor before awarding a contract is vitally important. To help mitigate
contractor risk, financial ratio analysis as well as fraud ratio analysis can
be useful tools for assessing the financial health of a contractor.
HOW TO FIND THE FAR ANSWER
One of the biggest problems with government contracting is the gap
in communication between buyer and seller. We created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help fix that. This session provides an overview

together.

This session examines through comparison of two mini-case studies,
the results of two FAR 15.101 solicitations for services, one using the
tradeoff procedures (FAR 15.101-1) and the other using the LPTA
procedures (FAR 15.101-2). The systems-based, holistic, tradeoff
solicitation resulted in early completion under budget that delighted
stakeholders. A decade later, the non-system-based LPTA solicitation
resulted in terminations, mission degradation, and higher lifecycle costs.
This session will discuss the innovative concept of market intelligence in
the federal government. Learn how to determine what is in the marketplace, what will be in the marketplace, how government acquisitions can
leverage the market place to meet requirements, and how to engage
industry. Market intelligence can improve industry and government
communications; establish partnerships with industry; and help you gain
an understanding of market forces, trends, and the direction industry is
moving.

Lawrence Floyd, CPCM, Performance Learning Director,
Services Acquisition, Defense Acquisition University
Successful services contracts require understanding and actively
managing program risks. Risk management begins with requirements
formulation and includes the planning and conducting of a contractor
transition phase. Effective risk management is proactive; it goes well
beyond merely identifying and tracking risk. Mission commanders
must manage and control risk, not just observe it. See examples
illustrating qualitative risk analysis and risk mitigation planning implementation.
AGILE ACQUISITION: BEYOND THE CMBOK
Session D13 « Technology & Innovation « Texas 6 «
Intermediate
Erin Childs, Program Manager, FEDSIM University, GSA FEDSIM
Chris Hamm, Director, GSA FEDSIM
The effective acquisition organization is not a group of 1102s toiling
away on dozens of acquisitions. The ineffective acquisition organization typically organizes its employees by specialization, treating the
organizational structure as if it were an assembly line. These organizations are distancing contracting personnel from the mission, adding
risk, and ultimately harming the mission of the agency. Let’s consider
an alternative model: agile acquisition. What would it look like?
Session D15 « Source Selection Policies & Best Practices
J. Matthew Carter, Senior Associate, Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw,
Pittman, LLP
Richard Oliver, Partner, Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, LLP
Bid protests are a consideration for every source selection. An
unsuccessful offeror must be able to assess its probability of winning
a protest and the contract. An awardee must know how to defend its
contract. Both need to know how to best support their protest legal
team. Hear best practices for these activities, as well as bid protest
process overviews at the GAO and COFC; frequently successful protest grounds; requirements for timeliness and stays; and debriefings.

Session E01 « Small Business Programs « Austin 4/5 « Basic
J. Matthew Carter, Senior Associate, Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw,
Pittman, LLP
Richard Oliver, Partner, Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, LLP
A small business is often required to certify its size status. However,
a contractor’s status may change from one acquisition to the next. A
contractor’s size status depends on the applicable size standard for
the acquisition, as well as whether the contractor is affiliated with other entities. Before certifying its size status, a contractor must be sure
that it qualifies under the SBA’s regulations. This session will explore
NAICS codes, the size calculation, affiliation, and size protests.

In awarding a new contract, we all hope that problems don’t arise
during administration. However, when things do not go as planned,
we are often faced with claims and requests for equitable adjustment. The seminar will explain the difference between the two, how
to negotiate mutually beneficial solutions, and describe the appellate
process when agreement is not possible. As ever-tightening procurement budgets result in more contracts with claims and litigation, this

Intermediate
“‘Government contracting’ and ‘simple’
don’t belong in the same sentence.”
People who know Government Contracting, know BDO.
The Government Contracting Practice at BDO
The world of government contracting is anything but simple. With economic and
political climates constantly evolving, regulatory standards are complex and subject
to frequent change. BDO’s dedicated practice has deep experience working with
government contractors across the country. Our partners and professionals provide
hands-on technical and strategic support to help you manage challenges and
pursue opportunities.
Tom Caulfield, Chief Learning Officer, Council of the Inspector
General
Nearly every procurement office, regardless of its size, faces some
degree of risk of procurement fraud, procurement abuse, or noncompliance to established procurement policy by one’s own employees.
To safeguard the process, we must understand the various fraud and
abuse schemes and the importance of procurement integrity controls.
Hear a comparison of the risk to the necessary internal protections,
along with the role of the procurement professional.
As contract managers, many of us read, negotiate, and sign non-disclosure agreements on a daily basis. Some are short, some are long,
and most contain a half-dozen critical clauses. Let’s walk step-by-step
through the agreement to understand why each clause is necessary,
and what best practices you should consider implementing in your
organization. I challenge you to re-think your existing document: take
a simplistic approach, reduce its length, and increase its effectiveness.

Culture is the values, beliefs, customs, and practices of a group that
reflects a way of thinking, behaving, or working. Professions have a
culture that can be described and measured, much like cultures of
nations and organizations. Understanding the professional culture of
contracts management is important for individuals to “crack the code”
for success in the profession, and for managers to effectively lead
contract management functions in their organizations. This session
will present a professional culture model of the profession and specific actions for success and advancement.

It’s no secret that the majority of complex business arrangements fall

is now wide recognition that effectively managing the relationship
between all stakeholders is the single most critical element of a

Jonene Johanson, CPCM, CFCM, Fellow, Branch Chief,
Workforce Development and Analysis, HIll AFB, UT, U.S. Air Force
Christine Larrinaga, Senior Manager, Contracts, ATK Launch
Systems, Inc.
For contracting professionals, few things can be as challenging
and rewarding as executing an international contract. Consider the
skill and attention to detail the average contracting process entails
then add different languages, laws, assumptions, customs, beliefs,
and behaviors to the mix. Will the result be success or failure? This
session will focus on cultural awareness and developing intercultural
competencies using a practical business and personal framework vital
to contracting success.
SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT: AS USEFUL A TOOL FOR
CONTRACTORS AS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Session G06 « Contract Disputes, Suspension, Terminations &
Debarment (NEW) « San Antonio 1 « Basic
Bill Schmidt, Deputy Director, Suspension & Debarment Division,
U.S. General Services Administration
Michael Thompson, Integrity Officer, U.S. General Services
Administration
Take a step back from focusing exclusively on the negative aspects of
suspension and debarment actions, and view these actions anew as
tools used to create a better acquisition environment, with well-educated, compliant contractors. Attendees will hear examples that illustrate the vital roles of both industry and government in the success of
the federal government’s suspension and debarment system.

In every level of government, procurement requirements continue
to rise in complexity while budgets continue to shrink. To meet this
challenge, state and local chief procurement officers are adopting
best practices in project management, strategic sourcing, category
management, cooperative purchasing, IT, competitive negotiations,
and staff development. A panel of procurement officers will discuss
applying new and adapting old best practices to meet the constantly
shifting demands of state and local government.

Scheduling Focal Point, SAIC
Crystal M Glenn, CPCM, Fellow, PMP, Program Control
Consultant, CenturyLink
For government contracting firms, contracting is extensive and
complex. Customers and audit authorities have high standards for
compliance. Yet, the average federal contract gets far less attention
than it did five years ago. Short staffing is often invisible to senior
executives. As a result of the crunch, insidious contracting risks are
more likely than ever to fester into enterprise issues. Learn how
leaders have successfully mitigated risks and the failed approaches
they tried along the way.
THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF BUSINESS SYSTEM ADEQUACY
AND REVIEW
Session G09 « Contract Performance & Administration «

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT RISK
Session G10 « Legislative & Regulatory Updates in Acquisition «
Texas 3 « Basic
Brent Calhoon, CPA, Partner, Baker Tilly
Shingai Mavengere, CFE, Director of Government Accounting,
UnitedHealtchcare Military & Veterans
In tough economic times, many companies attempt to maintain or
grow revenues by securing U.S. federal government contracts. Once
companies leave the commercial arena and enter the realm of negotiated government contracting, unpleasant surprises await the unwary
and unprepared. Expectations of reasonable profits may ultimately
yield losses and liabilities. Hear about the five key drivers of contract
risk that all contractors must be ready to face.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU: HOW TO SAFEGUARD
YOUR UNCLASSIFIED CONTROLLED TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Session G11 « Subcontract Management « Texas 4 «
Intermediate
Ted Bonanno, CPCM, JD, MBA, Vice President, Commercial,
Meggitt Control System
“Safeguarding Unclassified Controlled Technical Information,” DFARS
252.204-7012, places an enormous burden on defense contractors,
particularly smaller businesses. It contains onerous expectations for
IT security and short reporting timelines if a cyber incident occurs.
Understanding and complying with this clause requires collaboration
between the contracts, IT, and industrial security teams. Hear an
explanation of the provisions and tools for compliance.
Earned Value Management System (EVMS) policies, requirements,
and practices are often misunderstood and over applied. This session
will provide contracts managers correct information on the policies,
requirements, and practices from various perspectives (e.g., contracts,
project management, customer, supplier) and a forum to discuss
related contracting challenges.
CATEGORY MANAGEMENT: TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE IN
FEDERAL PROCUREMENT
Session G13 « Technology & Innovation « Texas 6 «
Intermediate
Meredith Barnard, Manager, Grant Thornton LLP
Eric Heffernan, Principal, Grant Thornton LLP
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy has identified category
management as one of the administration’s key initiatives. What is
category management and why is it different from strategic sourcing?
Learn about the key components of category management and how
it can be effective in identifying opportunities for savings, optimizing
procurement operations, and strengthening vendor relationships.
STRATEGIC SURVIVAL TIPS FOR WEATHERING THE LPTA STORM!
Session G14 « Cost & Price Analysis « Texas C «
Intermediate
Jacob George, CEO/Managing Director, JACOBS Management
Consultants
In this day of trade off and lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA)
sourcing, pricing is simply more than just a completion exercise—it
is the most important component. Creative pricing strategies win
you the contract, but can you sustain the contract with the rates
you have won? This session explores the answer to this question by
using pricing as a long-term sustaining activity that will provide the
greatest value for both government and contractor, as opposed to just
a exercise.
USING ORAL PROPOSALS IN SOURCE SELECTION
Session G15 « Source Selection Policies & Best Practices
Victoria Strycharske, Senior Proposal Manager, Skyway
Acquisition Solutions
Today’s contracting professionals are constantly trying to find ways to
reduce the workload and shorten the timeline for source selections.
The use of oral proposals can do just that for the right procurement,
with the bonus of improving government/industry communications
and understanding of what it will take to get the job done right.
