Federal Government Contracting: A Different Culture

摘要

The spearin doctrine, christian doctrine, False Claims Act, BCAs, FARs, Davis-Bacon. If you do not know all of these concepts, you should rethink bidding on a federal government project. One of my clients was awarded a subcontract on an Air Force job. Along with the general contractor's standard terms and conditions was a 6-inch thick pile of documents that included the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, Davis-Bacon wage scales and a host of FARs (Federal Acquisition Regulations). Learning government regulations on the job is not the wisest course of action.
