Join us for an in-depth introduction to the Department of War's Deal Team, a strategic initiative operating with a wartime mindset to fundamentally change how we conduct business. This session will explore the Deal Team's mission to optimize purchasing power through direct-to-supplier engagement and data-powered collaborative negotiations guided by the mantra “More, Faster,” which redefines success as speed to deliver capability, volume, and availability—not just speed to contract award.
We will explore how the team uses transparency as a force multiplier, creating partnerships where open data sharing provides deep insight into actual costs and builds the trust necessary to achieve our shared goals. Attendees will examine how these principles are put into practice through innovative business structures like Framework Agreements, which leverage multi-year commitments, industry-funded ‘facilitization investments,’ and streamlined pricing procedures to drive production capacity and speed.
Designed for acquisition personnel of all grades and specialties, this webinar provides a comprehensive look at how the Deal Team is building new and enduring practices, ensuring we can meet urgent warfighter needs and make speed and partnership the new standard for acquisition at the Department of War.
