New Army Intermediate Contracting Laboratory Offered Through Almc

摘要

The Army Logistics Management College has added a new course at its Huntsville Campus in Alabama. The 2-week Army Intermediate Contracting Laboratory (AICL) provides hands-on training in using software called Procurement Desktop-Defense (PD2).rnContingency contracting teams, contracting directorates at Army installations, and contracting offices in the Army Corps of Engineers are some of the organizations using PD2. The software tool supports all phases of the procurement cycle, from entering the customer's requirements to closing out or terminating the contract. PD2 software uses desktop menus with images of filing cabinets, folders, routing envelopes, and documents to emulate the office environment while dividing procurement functions into three contract phases: requirements, pre-award and award, and post-award.rnStudents will receive instruction in the software followed by hands-on practical exercises that reinforce PD2 operating skills.
