Air Force Official Discusses Contracting Efforts

The guest speaker for the chapter's November luncheon was Randall McFadden, director, Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC), Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. McFadden provided an enlightening and engaging overview of AMIC's role in supporting contracting efforts across Air Combat Command (ACC). He highlighted the challenges involved with managing the major contracts within the command. The success of the AMIC is centered on the employment of integrated program management teams, and the acquisition of information technology systems is a team sport. McFadden also addressed the benefits and challenges of using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) process versus the full trade-off (FTO) source-selection method.
