Federal contracting officers (COs) and contracting officer representatives (CORs) play critical roles in the execution and oversight of energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) and utility energy service contracts (UESCs). Unlike traditional acquisitions, these contracts require specialized knowledge of energy performance-based contracting, energy project financing, and long-term contract administration.

This workshop is designed to equip COs and CORs, as well as other key stakeholders (e.g., energy managers, project facilitators, and energy service companies [ESCOs]) with the expertise needed to successfully manage ESPCs and UESCs from project initiation to contract closeout. The multiple-day sessions will cover pre-award activities, award, and post-award through project closeout. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and scenario-based exercises, participants will gain practical insights to confidently develop and evaluate cost-effective projects, execute task orders that minimize risk to the government and comply with federal laws, and ensure long-term project savings and success.
