Prevailing at procurement – Tips for succeeding in federal government contracting

Description

Abstract: The passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allocated $787 billion for infrastructure (and other) projects.

It lists websites that are helpful in negotiating the process, while a sidebar offers three sources to make contact with organizations whose members have experienced government contracting.
