Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My book is not a scholarly treatise with extensive citations and footnotes. It is a practical guide for the busy executive or professional who needs the bottom line up front. I deliver simple advice from an experienced insider, but I cannot cover every topic or circumstance in government contracting. #2 Government contracting offers less freedom of contract than private sector contracting. To understand the difference, consider a contract with your imaginary company to compare to a government contract. #3 The United States is the largest client in the history of man. Uncle Sam spends about a trillion dollars each year on government contracts and grants. The laws, regulations, policies, and court decisions heavily favor the government.

This unbiased analysis of statutes, regulations, and case law clarifies the complex rules of federal procurement policies, explaining the processes that government personnel and contractors must follow in every aspect of government contractingand—from inception to completion. Topics include contract administration and personnel, contract interpretation, risk allocation, changes, delays, pricing of adjustments, and much more.
