Government contracting can feel confusing. Many people wonder who really makes the key choices. In this episode, Kevin and Paul focus on the Contracting Officer. This role is one of the three main “deciders” in the Skyway GovCon Frameworks. The Contracting Officer does not hold the money or the requirement, but they decide how the deal gets done. Their choices shape the plan, the competition, and the final award.
Today, their role is changing. Contracting Officers are being asked to move faster and use more judgment. That means contractors must pay close attention. Knowing how the Contracting Officer works can save time, improve communication, and help teams win. Tune in to learn what’s new, why it matters, and how you can work better with this key player in GovCon.
