The goal is to highlight the impact of the new rules on the acquisition process. The orientation will cover: (1) the background for the new rules, (2) the changes made to the FAR, and (3) the important points that the participant should be able to identify in order to begin operating under the new rules. The orientation will consist of a briefing from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and a question and answer period from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Sparkman Center Auditorium. Seating capacity will be limited to 695 individuals and will be on a first come first serve basis. Contractors should limit attendance to 3 (three) representatives. Due to our satellite downlink capability in the Sparkman Center Auditorium, participants will not be able to ask questions during the question and answer period, but everyone will be able to listen to and hear questions and answers posed from other locations.
