In this episode, Kevin Jans and I talk about Acquisition and Execution Time Zones. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is understanding WHY these time zones matter and learning how to tell which one you are in. Most government contractors don’t know what they can and can’t do in each of these time zones. Therefore, out of fear, many contractors throw up their hands and do nothing when a contracting officer says they can’t speak to you. Stop getting frustrated during the acquisition and execution of a contract by learning more about each phase of the game.
