      The federal government project planning process remains a mystery to much of the A/E/I industry. Review the steps and required activities of the U.S. General Services Administration’s project planning process. Those in the private sector will discuss how to track opportunities, target services, and win work. Those in the public sector will review how to increase the interest and participation of quality bidders.

Learning objectives:

• Review the federal planning and procurement process
• Improve the private sector's ability to track opportunities and win work with the federal government
• Improve the government's access to qualified bidders.
