Government Contract disputes can be a costly and time consuming process. Like everything with federal government contracting, disputes are governed by federal statutes. The Contract Disputes Act outlines the rules and regulations necessary to deal with disputes.

How To Avoid Federal Government Contract Disputes
To reduce the risk of unintended consequences from poorly drafted contracts speak with an attorney. However, if you are unable to immediately consult with an attorney keep these tips in mind:
- Confirm that all parties understand their obligations and rights.
- Ensure that all obligations and rights are clearly defined within contract.
- Ensure the language is unambiguous. If parties are unable to agree ambiguous terminology may be necessary – however, try to be as specific as possible.
- Familiarize yourself with rules and regulations for contracting with the government.
- Keep detailed records.
