BUAD 330 - Intermediate Contract

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): BUAD 130. This course presents experienced, intermediate-level contracting personnel with an intensive examination of the life cycle phases of contracting, including the pre-award phase of contracting (acquisition planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award), and post award contract administration, plus contracting problem analysis and resolution. Case studies challenge students to apply ethical principles, statutes, regulations, and sound business judgment in the resolution of contract problems. Major course topics include acquisition planning, contracting methods (with an emphasis on formal source selection and noncommercial acquisitions), contract administration (including contract surveillance and quality assurance), financial management, termination, and dispute resolution.
