This GMIG training focuses on planning for and administering a performance-based acquisition (PBA). GMIG instructors use lectures, discussions, class exercises and case studies to cover the entire performance-based acquisition process from planning to close-out. The training covers PBA issues related to service contracts, evaluation factors, benchmarking and appropriate metrics, monitoring contractor performance, source selection best practices, the roles of different contract types, personal and non-personal services, the quality assurance surveillance plans (QASP), the performance work statement (PWS), the statement of objectives (SOO), achieving best value, and the use of incentives. Students are taught how to effectively manage the performance based acquisition, and how to address common PBA issues.
