Archived Webinar Topic: Section 863 - Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask
(Presenter: Nick West; Date: Thursday, June 16, 2011)

Nick's webinar gives a brief overview of the acquisition environment that led to the creation of the Section 863 rule. He discusses the impacts on the Federal Supply Schedules program, particularly looking at the FSS ordering procedures in FAR subpart 8.4. The three main themes are: its general restructuring, the additional competition requirements, and the additional requirements when you are limiting sources. He also touches on the impacts on some of GSA’s other contract vehicles which have very similar requirements for customers.
