PME personnel are not only practitioners in procurement, but have also served as instructors for hundreds of contracting officers, procurement specialists, management analysts, technical representatives, program managers, and many other stakeholders involved in procurement initiatives.
We specialize in Performance-Based Contracting/Acquisition which focuses on outcomes and soliciting innovative methods rather than laying out the specific tasks that a contractor must perform. In all of our procurement support, we constantly seek economies of scale and other efficiencies that can be gained along the way.
