Each year the Federal Government contracts for $500 billion worth of supplies and services from 650,000 contractors. To acquire all those supplies and services, the Federal Government and its contractors must comply with thousands of pages of regulations. Those regulations can be daunting for anyone: large businesses seeking to expand by entering the Federal market; employees new to Federal contracting; the Federal Government itself. Small businesses without dedicated staffs of contract experts find comprehending and complying with the Federal acquisition regulation particularly vexing. However, the rewards are great for those small businesses that master the "Federal procurement maze" - the Federal Government has set annual goals for awarding $100 billion in contracts to small businesses, $25 billion to women-owned businesses, $25 billion to minority-owned businesses, $15 billion to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and $15 billion to small businesses in areas of high unemployment. For more than 30 years, GETTING STARTED IN FEDERAL CONTRACTING has been the standard reference for government contract information, guidance, and advice. Now, with this revised and expanded sixth edition, contracting professionals have the help, knowledge, and information they need to maneuver through the Federal procurement maze skillfully and successfully: An explanation of the key officials and what they do How to locate contracting opportunities Special "set-aside" programs for different types of small businesses Small business subcontracting goals for large businesses "Micro-purchase" procedures for purchases under $3,500 ($5,000 for the Department of Defense) Simplified procedures for purchases under $150,000 Invitations for Bids (IFB) and Requests for Proposals (RFP) Reverse auctions Different types of fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts Indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts Federal Supply Schedules Selling commercial supplies and services Selling foreign products Unique procedures for architect-engineering and construction contracts Labor laws Protests against contract awards Contract administration Filing claims Integrity and ethics rules Records retention requirements In addition, GETTING STARTED IN FEDERAL CONTRACTING includes a ample solicitation, forms, examples, key websites, abbreviations, glossary, and a detailed index.

"It's not a casebook; it's not a hornbook; it's not a traditional study aid. It's a short and extremely readable introduction to the five essential concepts of contract law: consideration, offer and acceptance, parol evidence, conditions, and quasi-contract. Contracts: The Five Essential Concepts focuses on the ideas that first year contracts students are most likely to find confusing. Written in a relaxed, informal and nontechnical style, this book explains the five basic concepts using humorous anecdotes and familiar, relevant examples from daily life such as buying a laptop online, signing a lease, and taking out a student loan. It is the perfect supplement to a traditional casebook because it explains the logic underlying the most significant precedents without "hiding the ball" and in an intuitively appealing way. Contracts: The Five Essential Concepts will be of great interest both to professors wishing to assign or recommend readings to supplement an existing syllabus, as well as to students looking for assistance in deciphering the readings that the professor assigns. Recent graduates reviewing contract law for the bar exam will find it invaluable, as will foreign graduate students whose knowledge of American contracts law is limited. Members of the general public wishing to understand what contract law is all about will be delighted by the book's clear tone and engaging presentation. Totally unique in both ambition and realization, this book belongs on the shelf of every reader with some reason to understand the basics of the American law of contracts"--

Submitting a Winning Bid. Guide to making a Construction Bidding with Examples. If the work or service awarded comes from a faulty bid, you have not earned a job; you have earned a complication. For a construction and assembly industry to be financially viable, it must achieve positive economic outcomes in the work or services it provides. When the work or service awarded comes from a faulty offer, the company is unlikely to become profitable. To start a lucrative business, it is essential that the bidder submit a properly evaluated bid in every tendering process or competition. In the book, Winning Bid Submission outlines the steps to get a reliable bid. This manuscript is particularly interesting owners, shareholders and coordinators of tenders construction and industrial assembly contractors or subcontractors, and all members of organizations performing tasks related to the formulation of proposals or tenders in the context of tenders or price competitions. Submitting a Winning Bid. Guidelines to improve the accuracy of your offer with examples. Bidding at prices away from the market average undermines the proponent's business relationship with the customer. When the bidder presents a budget that is too low and has the misfortune of being awarded the work, it will inevitably have to face negative financial results because expenses will exceed revenues. If the bid has a very high value compared to the competition's proposals, it will probably be excluded from price competition. This situation, although less severe than the previous one, has a negative effect on your assets because of the increased expenses. The conclusion is that when we quote, we need to carefully analyze each stage to submit a reliable offer. Submitting a Winning Bid. The purpose of submitting a winning bid is to give the reader a complete and useful guide to support their budgeting. This manuscript details the main aspects to consider at each stage of developing a proposal in order to achieve the desired reliable budget.
