Free In-House “New 7 Steps” PBA Team Training (Another Session Added)
Due to the overwhelming support for the Free in-house “New 7 Steps” PBA training, another session has been added for October 10, 2007 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. The first session took place on August 29, 2007, with great success. There was a cross-section of acquisition workforce participants in attendance, to include technical representatives, contract specialist, cost and price analyst, procurement analyst, and contracting officers. In addition, there were a number of OAs represented MARAD, OST, PHMSA, FHWA, FAA, etc. The next training session is expected to be even more meaningful, since some OAs are already preparing to forward SOWs with the intent of converting to PBA. The hands on working session will allow DOT to take advantage of free analysis and feedback from OFPP and industry with the idea of increasing our PBA goal through SOW analysis and conversion.
