The selected project is controlled by the Forestry Department, which is part of the Department of Agriculture, placing the project under the auspices of Chapter 4 for the Federal Acquisition Regulations, which themselves make up Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR, 2012). Relevant paragraphs include a provision that all Head of Contracting Activities (HCAs) comply with FAR 7.103, detailed further below (e-CFR, 2012, Title 48, Ch. 4, Part 407, par. 407.103). In addition, paragraph 407.503 of the same chapter provides provisions for the determination of whether or not a proposed contracting function is "inherently governmental" according to FAR 7.503(e), and also sets out rules for settling disputes when there is not agreement on this issue (e-CFR, 2012). It is not expected that this will be of issue in this case, however, and thus the regulations specific to the Department of Agriculture are not of great importance in building the acquisition team for this project.

In the past, there was the creation of government that was bound to social contract to protect the rights of the people. There have been many times where the government has violated its contract and the people are able to start a revolution to take control of the government. There are 4 different purposes of the government and one key element of government is maintaining social order. I believe this is the most important purpose because social order is the balance between the people, without balance in the hierarchy of the people the country or the nation could be separated and thrown into chaos. The social contract between the government and the people is in place because people do not know how to cope and avoid conflict with the people around

A GSA Schedule contract is one of the most efficient business tools for almost all the small and medium-sized corporation in the US to get into federal marketing. Procuring a GSA Schedule contract will allow the business companies to sell their government standard goods and services in the federal market.

If it is necessary to discuss warranty provisions or design considerations or look at and differentiate between the qualifications of the proposers and their approach to the work, the RFP is favored. Other RFP precursors may be a need to conduct negotiations prior to making a contract award (Power Engineering, 1997). Examples of services procured with an RFP include attorney services,

As a known innovator and otherwise highly successful company in the solar panel installation field, this organization would definitely like to benefit from securing the contract to install solar panels on the specified federal government building with a budget of $500,000. Given that the details of the contract opportunity and procurement process for this particular project have not been made known, an examination of several of the available procurement methods the government has established is certainly in order. The simplified acquisition methods that might be available for this contract and the more standard and lengthy bidding processes that could come into lay must both be examined in order to prepare for all potentials and form the greatest chance for winning this contract for the company.
In the institution of legal and social system, contract is the central pillar on which these institutions are standing. In order to understand the system, it is necessary to recognize that deduction is one of the means of the system and not the only end.
