Learn More About Government Contracts and Awards

Conducting business with any government agency can be both profitable and promising. Unlike private business contracts, contracting with the federal government has many rules and regulations that must be followed. Small business owners branching into government contracting should make sure they know what is required of them as well as how the process works before submitting a bid. Attorneys at the Whay Law Firm have been helping businesses in Oklahoma understand and secure profitable government contracts for two decades.

Contracting With The Federal Government

Government contracting is a regulated process and can seem very complicated. Government contracting is codified in the Armed Services Procurement Act of 1947, the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, and the Competition in Contracting Act. Additionally, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provides the policies and procedures that must be followed by all federal agencies during contracting and acquisition.

Contracting can occur through one of two means: sealed bidding or competitive negotiation. Sealed bidding allows all interested companies the chance to submit a proposal. All bids are looked over and the contract is usually awarded to the most qualified candidate with the lowest bid. Competitive negotiation allows agencies to work with potential bidders to discuss bids or adapt offers. Competitive negotiation becomes an auction of sorts where everyone involved knows what’s up for grabs and is encouraged to “bid more for less”.

If you are unsure of how to begin, how to create a bid proposal, or any other contracting factors a federal government contract attorney can help.
