The International
Defense Acquisition
Resource Management
Program (IDARM) offers a
one week mobile course
entitled “Contracting
for Pre-Deployment &
Deployment Operations.”
This course may be
conducted for a single
country or as a regional
event.
Objectives:
The key objectives of
this course are to:
- Examine the
fundamental concepts
and challenges
associated with
contingency
contracting.
- Provide course
participants with an
understanding of the
complexities
associated with
planning and
negotiating
contracts in
“conflict areas.”
- Examine the tools
and techniques
necessary to
effectively contract
in areas with
limited or no host
nation support.
- Assist countries in
their efforts to
develop and
institutionalize
efficient and
effective
contingency
contracting
practices.
The course is taught by
resident faculty from
the School of
International Graduate
Studies. Faculty
lectures may be
augmented by
presentations from
distinguished
practitioners who are
subject matter experts
in various topics within
the field of contingency
contracting. The course
provides a practical
examination of defense
procurement and
contracting issues in an
insecure environment
characterized by mid to
high intensity
conflict. Course
participants consider
the challenges of
procurement and
contracting for widely
dispersed operations in
a joint or coalition
environment, given
rapidly changing
organizations, an
increasing reliance on
contractors and the
emergence and evolution
of new threats.
Topics include the types
of contingencies,
cross-cultural
awareness, ethics, roles
and responsibilities,
anti-terrorism and
security, deliberate &
crisis action planning,
funding of contingency
efforts, contractual
instruments, and
contract administration
and closeout.
Participants:
This course is designed
for international
military officers and
civilian equivalents of
grades 04-06 who
directly or indirectly
contribute to
procurement and
contracting in a
contingency environment,
from a policy or
operational
perspective.
Course Dates:
The course is exported
and customized given a
country’s specific
requirements. Please
contact IDARM Program
Manager for scheduling.
