I’m pretty confident that warehouse and logistics come right after the contract is awarded, but I might mix up the rest.

Ah, I see now. The contract award is stage 9, and the four stages that follow are the ones listed in the answer choices. I'll make sure to memorize those for the exam.

Okay, I think I've got this. The stages after the contract award are warehouse, logistics and receipt; contract performance review and continuous improvement; SRM/SCM and contract management; and asset management, lessons learned, end of life.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Can someone walk me through the procurement cycle stages again? I want to make sure I understand where the contract award fits in and what comes after.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option C. Having HR add employees, review/submit hours, and deliver paychecks seems like it provides good checks and balances to prevent any one person from committing fraud.

Thirteen stages, huh? Sounds like a procurement cycle to end all procurement cycles. I hope they have a stage for coffee breaks!
