GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

[FAI N01]


Federal Acquisition Institute/Defense Acquisition University 
Vendor Meeting

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Acquisition Officer, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) and the Defense 
Acquisition University (DAU) will hold a vendor meeting to provide 
information on shared initiatives and activities. FAI will describe 
plans and requirements for training related services under the 
Acquisition Workforce Training Fund (AWTF). DAU will provide an update 
on planned changes to contracting courses.
    Agencies are required to report and deposit five percent of 
administrative fees from Governmentwide contracts and multiple award 
schedules into the AWTF. Its purpose is to ensure that the Federal 
acquisition workforce adapts to fundamental changes in Federal 
acquisition and acquires new skills and perspectives to contribute 
effectively in the changing environment.
    FAI and DAU work together to address many of the acquisition 
workforce training needs of the Federal Government. Partnering with DAU 
enables FAI to build upon existing DAU training, develop Governmentwide 
curriculum, and promote a cohesive and agile workforce. At the vendor 
meeting, DAU will present information on recent contracting curriculum 
changes and review current curriculum development efforts. FAI will 
discuss how the curriculum changes impact the Federal acquisition 
workforce.
    Who Should Attend: Training developers, vendors with Commercial-
Off-The-Shelf (COTS) training products, vendors with capabilities 
related to the full Instructional System Design (ISD) methodologies, 
and acquisition training experts.

DATES: The meeting will be held March 17, 2005, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the GS Building, GSA Auditorium,
