This construction-centric virtual instructor led training (VILT) course is designed to improve a student’s ability to review and analyze contractor proposals, conduct technical and cost/price analysis, and adequately document modifications in a contract file. Content focuses on proposal analysis in a sole source environment (Contract Modifications, 8(a), etc.) utilizing examples, exercises, and case studies to expose students to reliable analysis tools and techniques. Issues encountered are based on actual findings of deficiencies in contract files. Students will analyze these issues and practice their writing skills daily. The content is presented in three Modules. Module One focuses on formal Technical Analysis and the foundation of the Independent Government Estimate. Module Two teaches students how to calculate and negotiate overhead rates by focusing on the cost principles of Allowability, Allocability, and Reasonableness. Module Three is a large case study that allows students to apply learning gained in Modules One & Two while analyzing multiple elements of a contractor’s proposal. Participants are expected to perform appropriate levels of technical, cost, and price analyses, develop negotiation positions, and document their results in formal Technical Analysis and Pre-Negotiation Memorandum formats.
