Federal Government Contracts

Summary

This practice note provides guidance to counsel on identifying and obtaining government contracts. The focus areas will address where agency contracting needs are identified, proper registration protocols for businesses interested in securing government procurements, locating government contracting opportunities, and demonstrating contractor responsibility. By understanding who determines an agency's need for contracting purposes, how that need is publicized, the registration requirements, and responsibility matters, a prospective contractor can acquire an advantage over other parties seeking the same contracts in the highly competitive world of government contracting.
