Another “Rent-a-Vet” Scheme Settlement | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
The New York Foundation for Fair Contracting (NYFFC) is a not-for-profit organization established to support, promote and encourage fair contracting by leveling the playing field in public works construction for the benefit of taxpayers, contractors and workers (online source).
