Government Contracts & Government Appeals Attorneys

• he Armed Services Procurement Act of 1947 (ASPA), codified at 10 U.S. C. §§ 2301-2314
• The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (FPASA), codified at 40 U.S. C. §§ 471-514 and 41 U.S. C. §§ 251-260,
• The Competition in Contracting Act (CICA), codified in scattered sections of 10, 31, 40, and 41 U.SC.

These three general federal contracting laws represent the three statutory foundations of government contract law and the federal acquisition process. The ASPA governs the acquisition of all property (except land), construction, and services by defense agencies; the FPASA governs similar civilian agency acquisitions. The CICA, applicable to both defense and civilian acquisitions, requires federal agencies to seek and obtain "full and open competition" wherever possible in the contract award process. Only in seven circumstances may a federal agency award a contract using a sole source contractor or "other than full and open competition."

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) -- codified at Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations -- contains the uniform policies and procedures for acquisitions by all federal agencies. It implements or addresses nearly every procurement-related statute or executive policy. The FAR applies to every stage of the acquisition process.

Government Contract Lawyers

Unlike commercial contracting, government contracting and procurement bidding involves a complex set of rules and regulations. These guidelines mandate behavior relating to the process, bidding, awards, and administration of government contracts.

The most notable among these regulations are the Armed Services Procurement Act of 1947 (ASPA), the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (FPASA), and the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA). These three laws serve as the foundation of government contract law and the federal acquisition process. Namely, these pieces of legislation serve to govern the acquisition of property, construction, and services by defense agencies and require all governmental agencies to pursue "full and open competition" whenever possible.

It can be exceptionally challenging to attempt a navigation of the myriad rules and regulations involved in government contracting. However, the assistance of a qualified and experienced legal advisor can make the process manageable.
