Who Should Attend?
Technical and contracting experts across Federal Organizations and their Industrial Base motivated to improve performance across highly technical contracts.
Federal, Manufacturer/Logistics, and technology and AI integration program managers and engineers requiring improved communications with their contracting and capture teams.
Key Objectives
Through the effective combination of instruction, discussion, and practical case work, these are the key skills participants leave with:
- Master the Mechanics of Modern Sustainment: Understand the “how and why” that leads to success with performance-based DataCentric Sustainment (DCS). Learn how Outcome-Based Readiness creates a win-win construct, enabled by continuous industry AIdriven predictive improvement, shared risk, and agile OPEX models that drive long-term cost reduction.
- Leverage Strategic Growth: Use performance-based contracting as a powerful FAR 2.0 capture tool to secure profitable, iterative agreements for both new and legacy programs.
- Navigate Policy: Master the statutory rules (like the 50/50 rule), data rights for machine learning models, and compliance mandates that govern modern sustainment.
- Shift to Warfighting Data: Transition from traditional warehousing to dynamic data architectures. Use AI-enabled predictive analytics and digital twins to ensure continuous Outcome-Based Readiness over legacy transactional logistics.
- Structure the Deal: Build performance-based agreements that achieve Controlled Delegation and are Accountable by Design, utilizing algorithmic risk allocation and strict Statement of Objectives terms.
