San Fernando Valley Chapter meeting on February 19
Meeting Location: City National Bank

Meeting Date: February 19
Meeting Time: Doors open at 7am, Meeting 7:30-9:00am
Being successful in business is challenging in and of itself. Being successful in the defense industry, where the Government is the ultimate customer, comes with additional and unique challenges.
Cost-type contracts are particularly complex instruments, substantially shaped by federal regulation, and administered by a team of professionals under the cognizant contracting officer. Done right, they’re fair and useful for both sides. But done wrong, they can be catastrophic to the contractor. This presentation is designed to help contractors better understand what they need to know about pursuing such contracts.
Please join us in Sherman Oaks, CA, on Tuesday, February 19, 7:30am–9:00am, when Scott Koslow, Vice President, Valkyrie Enterprises, will discuss the Government’s approach to its pricing objective and how a contractor can position itself to win a contract worth winning. He’ll address the concept of the “Total Evaluated Price,” the nature of best value procurement versus lowest-price-technically-acceptable and cost/price evaluation considerations to account for. He’ll also discuss management’s strategic considerations when the Government selects someone else for award.
The meeting is free for members and $40 for non-members ($30 Early Bird until February 12). Guests may attend twice for free. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adfsfvfeb19.eventbrite.com.
