Synopsis:

New FAC-C Program Information Session for Acquisition Workforce Contract Training Providers

The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) are preparing to launch the new FAC-C program. The new program, including new training standards, will be effective for the federal acquisition workforce October 1, 2014.

While the new FAC-C program is similar to DOD’s current contracting certification program, it is not exactly the same. Because the new program is significantly different from the current FAC-C program, OFPP has developed a transition plan for the federal contracting workforce.

FAI is sponsoring an information session on the new FAC-C for the acquisition workforce training providers. The session is scheduled for February 28, 2014 from 11:00 PM to 2:00 PM at GSA’s Headquarters building, 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, D.C. The new training courses, course pre-requisites, transition period options, certification standards and other related topics will be covered.

Current or future FAI procurement actions will not be discussed.
