Due to the current lapse in government funding, FAI will reschedule all instructor-led FAI CSOD courses starting on or after Oct. 1, 2025. FAI will contact students enrolled in these courses and coordinate with vendors to provide new schedules. Please consult your agency’s acquisition career manager or small agency representative for additional guidance. FAI CSOD will remain available to workforce members during this time.

Contracting Competencies

The Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting (FAC-C) Program is for contracting professionals in the Federal Government performing contracting and procurement activities and functions. The purpose of this program is to establish general education, training, and experience requirements for those contracting professionals. The FAC-C applies to all executive agencies, except the Department of Defense (DoD).

The FAC-C Program is built on competencies that refer to the knowledge, skills, and abilities contracting professionals must have in order to perform their contracting duties.
