Description
Proposals are contractor-prepared packages made in response to government solicitations, which include budgeted costs for the projected period of performance. In this course, Katelyn Rigle from the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) will provide an overview of the proposal requirements outlined in FAR Part 15 and DFARS 252.215-7009.
