End of FY 2011 Procurement Crunch

After an unprecedented delay in 2011 Appropriations until mid-April, Federal agencies are left with about half the time to spend appropriated funds. This creates a unique acquisition environment in FY2011 for contractors and their Government customers. Join us as we discuss how to prepare for the upcoming end of the fiscal year buying season, focusing on the most critical questions.

• What is the state of the Federal market for the end of FY2011?
• How will the compressed time frame for government spending affect how agencies buy?
• What are the key procurement tools that agencies will use to spend remaining funds fast?
• How will GSA Multiple Award Schedules and other Government-wide Acquisition Contracts assist agencies with their end of FY2011 spending?
• How can agencies leverage GSA & DOI assisted acquisition services to effectively and efficiently meet year end.
