“SMALLTOFEDS” By Ken Larson"
“Like any other contractual document in the business world, the quality and content of this format will vary by agency and with the experience and knowledge of the contracting officer and the government administrative and technical support personnel preparing it or the prime contractor.
It behooves your small business to examine the contents, research the appropriate sections of the FAR that may govern them and review them as commitments to which your organization can conform and perform before you sign your contract. _____________________________________________________________________________
“The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15-204-1 specifies a uniform contract format for federal government contracts.
