Regardless of the product or service government is acquiring, and regardless of the acquisition method, pricing is and always will be an essential element in the buying process. No legal contract can occur without the establishment of a price. And in the larger sense, pricing determination matters not only to an agency’s contracting operation, but also to the programs that set the requirements for each acquisition and are ultimately responsible for taxpayer dollars. The challenge for government is not getting the lowest price, but rather, getting the right price.

In this exclusive executive briefing, the following federal acquisition, auditing, technology and program experts address the most up-to-date thinking about strategies for price determination:

  • José Arrieta, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, Department of Health and Human Services
  • Anita Bales, Director, Defense Contract Audit Agency
  • Karen L. Brazell, Principal Executive Director and Chief Acquisition Officer, Office of Acquisition, Logistics and Construction, Department of Veterans Affairs
  • Darlene Coen, Deputy Program Manager, NASA SEWP
