CLC 139, Acquisition of Commercial Items was created in response to the FY18 NDAA. The continuous learning module comprises over 30 separate videos, text content, and knowledge reviews. Each video & embedded in CLC 139 has been uploaded to the CON Media Page for easy access by the acquisition workforce. In this video, we explain the results of a benchmarking study conducted with commercial firms.  Specifically, when identifying best practices when procuring commercial items, the team found commercial firms request cost data, rely on competition, use firm fixed-price contracts, and manage their supplier base through vertical integration and partnerships.
