Assignment 2: Develop a Procurement Strategy

Using the situation provided below, students will identify a strategy for each procurement.

You are the senior contracts team lead in a United States Government (USG) department. After a department meeting, your group was asked to review all the contracting activities that your department will be responsible for in the next year. You are to present your recommendations to the entire staff at the next meeting. Attending the meeting is the entire contract and procurement staff.
