An Introduction to How Government Organizations Buy Goods and Services
Government procurement is the structured process public organizations use to obtain the goods and services they need. This beginner-level course introduces the procurement cycle, common procurement terminology, solicitation and evaluation concepts, and the roles government agencies and businesses play in the process.
Through a simple procurement example, you'll follow a need from identification through solicitation, competition, evaluation, award, and performance—and learn where procurement fits within the larger government contracting pathway.
No prior government contracting experience is required.
