How It Works

Judgment is built through reps, not lectures.

Train
Hard, ambiguous reps

Your people work real acquisition decisions out loud, under time pressure. Every scenario forces a call, not a recall.

Stay Current
Today's rules, not last year's

The FAR is being rewritten into a principle-based framework (the RFO). Scenarios update as the rules change, so your people train against what's in force now.

Scale
Every unit, one standard

Run the same reps across every squadron and command. Judgment stays consistent, without pulling your most experienced people off mission to teach.

Built to Standard

Mapped to the standards your people are measured against.

Aligned with the DoD Contracting Professional Certification under DAWIA, the credential every contracting professional holds, military or civilian, across all DoD components. For the Air Force and Space Force, training is additionally mapped to the CFETPs for 1102 civilians, 6C0X1 enlisted, and 64PX officers, as well as APDP requirements. It trains from the first day in the career field to an unlimited warrant.

Scenarios span the full contracting lifecycle, market research, competition, award, administration, and closeout, as well as the cross-cutting concepts that run throughout it, including fiscal law, warrant authority, and ethics.

Defend a sole-source justification to a skeptical reviewer.
Reject a requirement that spends the wrong color of money.
Justify the extent of market research for a mid-size services buy.
Act at the edge of your warrant, or decline and route it up.
Handle a contractor's cure-notice response under time pressure.
