If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)
Who makes the decision to purchase something for the Government? The answer depends on many factors, but is usually quite different from how an acquisition decision is made in your personal life or the non-Government world.
Kevin and Paul discuss the 3 main “deciders” in Government acquisition and relate them to easily recognizable roles. Money, needs, and the authority/ability to make a transaction.
Learn who has the power in each Acquisition Timezone and why it is important for both Government and Industry to recognize how the power can shift.

Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting. It is not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession. Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.
