The foundation every contracting career is built on. CON 1100 is the first course in the DoD contracting certification series — the one that turns someone new to the field into a contracting professional who knows how the system actually works. Delivered under Phoenix Canyon's DAU-Equivalent Provider status, it covers the skills most fundamental to the career field: the acquisition process end to end, the essential elements of a contract and the authority behind federal acquisition, market research, competition, and fair and reasonable pricing — plus the ethics, communication, and documentation habits that protect you and your organization. You'll learn from both the government and industry perspective, so you understand not just what the rules require, but how the other side of the table thinks. This course is fully updated to reflect the RFO FAR, so you're learning the framework as it exists now, not as it used to be.
At the center of the course is the skill that matters most and is hardest to teach: how to navigate the regulations themselves. You'll learn to find, read, and apply the FAR (old version and new) — along with how to find and use agency supplements and class deviations. You won't just memorize rules — you'll learn how to find the right one, understand why it applies, and be able to use it with confidence.
Whether you take it for certification or not — this is a great way to earn CLPs while building genuinely valuable, immediately usable contracting skills. Solid knowledge, real CLP credit, and practical tools and information to make you better at your job.
Best for: entry-level DoD 1102s and defense contracting staff pursuing DAWIA Contracting Professional Certification, and anyone in the defense acquisition workforce who needs a working command of federal contracting from the ground up.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
