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.

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contains the policies and procedures for acquisitions by executive agencies of the federal government. The FAR is issued and maintained by the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This is the prime source of federal government contracting regulations. The July 2021 CCH Federal Acquisition Regulation reproduces the FAR and all amendments issued prior to July 1, 2021, along with an easy-to-use topical index. This is an essential resource for FAR requirements and FAR compliance. Citations to the rules amending each section including all contract clauses and provisions, are provided for all changes issued since the initial text of the FAR was published in the Federal Register on September 19, 1983. If your business is directly subject to federal government contracting laws, this is the gold-standard reference for FAR guidelines and government contracting regulations. It is also an ideal resource for Federal Acquisition Regulation training. The July 2021 CCH Federal Acquisition Regulation contains all of the Federal Acquisition Circular amendments made since January 1, 2021. The July 2021 Edition of FAR implement the latest final rules, interim rules, and corrections on such topics as: Applicability of Inflation Adjustments Evaluation Factors for Multiple-Award Contracts Modifications to Cost Pricing Data Requirements Orders Issued Via Electronic Commerce Set Asides Under Multiple Award Contracts

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.

Koprince teaches you to concentrate on the crucial but complex Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other rules required for keeping contracts alive and avoiding penalties.

The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts puts a wealth of specialized legal counsel at readers’ fingertips, answering the most important compliance questions like: Is a small business really small? Who is eligible for HUBZone, 8(a), SDVO, or WOSB programs? What salaries and benefits must be offered? What ethical requirements must be followed? When does affiliation become a liability?

The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts empowers contractors to avoid missteps, meet their compliance obligations--and keep the pipeline flowing.
