This training explores how acquisition teams can successfully transition from buying labor to buying results. Rather than focusing solely on contract types or performance metrics, participants will learn practical techniques for defining what the government is truly acquiring, identifying appropriate contractor accountability, and developing requirements that support successful fixed-price execution.
This web event supports Executive Order 14402 Promoting Efficiency, Accountability and Performance in Federal Contracting, issued on April 30, 2026. The EO emphasizes to incentivize performance over cost inflation, and fixed-price contracts with performance-based considerations should serve as the default and preferred method of procurement. This event will be added to the Fixed-Price Contracts Program – EO 14402 Playlist. See https://www.waru.edu/playlists/fixed-price-contracts-program-eo-14402-playlist.
