SMALL BUSINESS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING (“Smalltofeds”): FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACT FORMAT

in Blog by

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15-204-1 specifies a uniform contract format for federal government contracts. You have encountered this format during the RFP stage of your procurement since the government is required to utilize it in structuring the request for proposal (RFP), leaving blank those items, which are subject to negotiation such as final contract pricing. Your contract is divided into four parts, with various sections within each part. Prime contractors issue subcontracts flowing down terms and conditions, pricing and other topics in an identical format.
