Every year the US federal government will spend roughly 100 billion dollars through competitive IDIQ (Indefinite Duration Indefinite Quantity) contracts. When you add in contracts awarded by State governments and commercial organizations using very similar processes you’re looking at 700 billion dollars’ worth of business.

Getting a slice of that pie depends on how well you manage the contracting project.

Stack the odds in your favor of winning multiple revenue with our one-day intensive course on the Project Management of IDIQ Task Order Contracts.  You'll gain an in-depth understanding of the framework and core principles of IDIQ's from a master Project Manager, a veteran manager of SeaPort, Eagle, GSA Schedules and other IDIQ's, yielding over $100M in revenue.   Based on the definitive book: "The Project Manager's Guide to IDIQ Task Order Contracts", you will examine the specific challenges in the startup, management, and closing of the IDIQ.

You will learn the pragmatic and best-practice description of the entire life cycle of this type of contract.  This course is full of the "insider advice” you need to help you through the pragmatic issues of clients’, performers’, and bosses’ expectations:
