Guide to Defense Contracting

The federal government is the largest buyer of goods and services in the world, spending hundreds of billions per year and employing hundreds of thousands of people as civil servants, military or contractors. Over the years, volumes of regulations and policies have evolved to impact this buying. A Guide to Defense Contracting: Principles and Practices helps to demystify the process, providing in one volume a succinct yet thorough guide to federal contracting requirements or regulations. Bringing together concepts of business, law, politics, public and social policy, pricing, and contract placement and administration, Dan Lindner draws on 40 years of federal government experience to cover the vast spread of this important process that impacts our daily government operations.
