If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)
Kevin discusses the challenges that small businesses face as they strive to win their first prime contract with Jim Duffey and Ted Atsinger from Greytek. Grektek is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that specializes in organizational risk, security education & training, and intelligence services.
Learn some of the differences between commercial and Government customers from a small business perspective. The conversation with Greytek also reveals pitfalls that first time primes may deal with in targeting new work that fits their skills and weight class and in preparing proposals for Government competitions.

Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting. It is not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession. Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.
