on the Go Learning Programs

(FCCoC) Lunch & Learn Program is a mission-ready training series of 50+ workshops engineered to sharpen the skills and situational awareness of America’s contracting force. Each session is a tactical briefing—fast, focused, and built for impact. Designed for professionals operating in the high-tempo federal marketplace, these sessions deliver the intelligence, strategies, and command-level insights needed to compete, adapt, and win.

Each Lunch & Learn Program engages participants in critical operations-level discussions across the federal acquisition landscape. Topics range from FAR and DFARS readiness, proposal warfare strategy, and contract compliance operations to teaming formation, supply chain resilience, and battlefield-tested business development tactics. Every briefing is led by seasoned acquisition professionals, contracting officers, and industry commanders who have stood on both sides of the negotiation table—sharing lessons that translate directly into operational success.

The FCCoC Lunch & Learn Program is not a classroom—it’s a command center for knowledge, collaboration, and execution. It equips contractors with the tools, intelligence, and situational awareness to dominate in their sectors. Through every mission-focused session, the FCCoC strengthens the nation’s contracting corps—ensuring that every member is not only informed but battle-ready to perform, compete, and lead in the federal marketplace.
