Learning Activity #1
You work for a Contractor and were asked to attend a meeting on a new Marine Corps program. At the beginning of the presentation, an announcement was made that viewing this information may be a conflict of interest for you or your company. Your company's Government client has specifically asked that you attend this briefing and report back. What do you do?
Learning Activity #2
Completion criteria are the #1 issue for service contracts: "how do you know if the services are completed or if more work is needed?" Sounds simple, right? You are a government employee tasked to create a "Statement of Work" for the procuring of services to design a new widget. What event(s) constitute completion of the widget? What rights/obligations should the government have if the widget does not work?
