271 - ENCORE - What is a COTR? What is a COR?

If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)
What does a COTR do? What can a COR direct a contractor to do? What is outside the scope of their authority? In this special holiday encore episode you’ll learn the answers to these questions and more as Kevin and Paul discuss the role of Contracting Officer Technical Representatives (sometimes known as Contracting Officer Representatives). Gain new knowledge or refresh your understanding of why the Government appoints COTRs and CORs and why it is important for both Government and Industry to understand their responsibilities, authority, and limitations.

Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help government and industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. As former government Contracting Officers who have also walked in industry's shoes, Kevin and Paul share their perspectives in support of the podcast mission: Make government contracts better, one contract at a time.
Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting. It is not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession. Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.

273 - What is a SBIR?

If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)
Kevin and Paul discuss the SBIR program, a great way for small businesses to enter the government market or to grow their capabilities. It's also an exciting way for the Government to streamline the acquisition process for innovative concepts. The Air Force has used "Pitch Days" to award SBIR contracts on the spot with their credit cards.
