Good morning! I wanted to ask a question to complete some research. Have you all seen an instance where a CO wants to do an award fee for completion for year 1 of a contract and then in year 2 of the contract, they want to move to a fixed fee arrangement which will last through the duration of the contract? Is there any precedence in the government for this? Or, would you all opt to choose one or the other for an extended period of performance as opposed to the mixed approach? Any suggestion that you all are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for this great feedback and much of what I have learned here will be implemented going forward.

Thanks for your feedback. You definitely gave me some things to consider.

Thank you all for your feedback. I truly appreciate it.

Greetings all, I joined WIFCON, at the suggestion of my mentor, to build my knowledge of the FAR and my understanding of contracting related topics and issues. I have been using the resources, blogs and discussions on this site to further educate myself on the nuances of being an acquisition professional. I have four years of acquisition/contracting experience as a contractor in DHS in the DC Area. I’ve joined NCMA for the learning opportunities and I am in the process of testing for my second NCMA Certification (CFCM). I have applied to many 1102 opportunities, made many cert lists, and had several interviews but I have yet to be selected and get my foot in the door. I meet all of the qualifications and I am wondering if there is anything I can do to give myself a better chance. Can anyone provide advice on what I can do to make myself more marketable? Are there any programs for non-veterans that I may be able to utilize to help me accomplish my goal of becoming an 1102? I truly appreciate any feedback that may come as a result of this post. Have a wonderful day, everyone!
