Broadening Attention
A Purchasing Agent consults with his/her colleagues. We talk through alternative approaches, explain our views, and listen to others’ views.
It is the best teaching tool we have.

Harness Emotion
Keep your composure. A Purchasing Agent should take risks and go through conflict with equal level-headedness. A Purchasing Agent should never submit
their judgment to emotional swings.

Procurement Knowledge
Our Decisions Reflect those Views.

Understanding Procurement Law
I can do it, if it is:
Legal, Moral, and, Ethical
![Page 24: Procurement Blind Spots Alan H. Culpeper, CPPO, VCO Culpeper County, Virginia (540) 727-3488 aculpeper@culpepercounty.gov.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e045503460f94af029a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reality Check
Purchasing Agents do their own reconnaissance work for IFB & RFP. There
is no substitute for knowing the Rules of Procurement and not knowing the realities of
the law.
![Page 25: Procurement Blind Spots Alan H. Culpeper, CPPO, VCO Culpeper County, Virginia (540) 727-3488 aculpeper@culpepercounty.gov.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e045503460f94af029a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sensing Solicitation Problems Where are problems likely to emerge from? What’s the worst that could happen? What scenarios could develop that could
threaten the integrity of the RFP/IFB? Is there tension or conflict in the RFP/IFB? What signs should I look for that may
indicate problems or areas of concern?
![Page 26: Procurement Blind Spots Alan H. Culpeper, CPPO, VCO Culpeper County, Virginia (540) 727-3488 aculpeper@culpepercounty.gov.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e045503460f94af029a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sensing RFP Opportunities
Where are opportunities likely to develop?
Can we develop a process that spots and focuses attention on or toward potential opportunities?
