THE DEFENSE PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS SYSTEM
"DPAS" gives the government the right to compel contractors to give "rated orders" priority, even if that means bumping other government or commercial work! Don't think you get rated orders? If you have a contract, subcontract, or order with a "DO" or "DX" on it, you have a "rated order" and it is subject to DPAS! And it applies to commercial supplies, too! The Commerce Department estimates that 700,000 rated orders are issued annually! So you need to know what DPAS is and your obligations under it!

THE HISTORY OF FEDERAL PROCUREMENT: How We Got To Where We Are

FEDERAL PROFIT POLICY: How the Government Calculates What You Should Earn on Your Federal Contract
Not everything the federal government buys is a commercial item or is susceptible to price competition. Under such situations, the contracting officer is required by law to make sure all proposed costs are necessary and reasonable. "Profit" is one of these costs. This monograph takes you through the step-by-step calculations the contracting officer makes to determine his or her "profit objective." Explains the business activities the government is trying to encourage. Includes sample calculations and filled-in forms.

FACILITIES CAPITAL COST OF MONEY
To perform government contracts, most federal contractors must invest in buildings and equipment. By investing in these facilities, the contractor forgoes the interest in could have earned by placing the money in a bank account. The government will compensate contractors for this "cost of money" if they know how to ask! Yes, the form is complicated. But this monograph shows you step-by-step what to do and why. Get Uncle Sam to begin paying you all the money you're entitled.
