OVERVIEW

Demystifying the Acquisition Process: Source Selection

Source Selection – a term that conjures up images of a mysterious process with byzantine rules and lengthy timelines that are challenging for small businesses to navigate. However, like any complex process, it’s much easier to grasp when taken one bite at a time. Join us as we demystify the Source Selection process to improve your understanding and ability to win contracts. Professionals from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Acquisition Center of Excellence (ACE) will cover multiple aspects of Source Selection, including market research, acquisition strategy planning, evaluation techniques, small business considerations, and myth busting.
