SUMMARY:Understanding Contractor Quality Control
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Indian Dispute Resolution Services (IDRS) Acorn Project\, join us to better understand contractor quality control. This webinar series is open for any business owner\, regardless of Native status. \nIf there is one area of federal contracting critical to a firm’s ability to not only acquire large value contracts but also perform successfully\, it is the firm’s Quality Control program. This webinar will define and discuss quality control (QC) and the various QC program levels the government imposes on firms. The webinar will also address the significance associated with a firm’s QC program and how the program permeates the entire business structure. \nBennie Gonzales of Supplier University has over 40 years of procurement experience as a Contracting Officer at Nellis AFB and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Bennie is a Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM)\, a Certified Lead Quality Assurance Auditor\, and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. Bennie provides consulting services to small business firms in the area of acquisition\, contract administration\, and/or proposal development.  He currently trains and instructs DoD and civilian agency Contracting Officers. \n  \n**This event series requires two registrations- one for Nevada SBDC and one for the IDRS Acorn Project. We appreciate your patience with this process** \n \n  \nFunded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
