An Oasis of Creative Thought and Action in a Desert of Conflicting Policy (Associated Manufacturing Marketing Group Profile)
“From a domestic engagement perspective, public sector procurement practices are leading to an erosion of the overall supply base. This escalating level of erosion and its negative impact on innovation was initially presented as part of an October 2002 U.S. report by the Executive Office of the President. Specifically, the practice of contract bundling which resulted in a steadily decreasing number of Small – Medium enterprises receiving federal contracts was seen as a direct threat to the nation’s pool of “innovation and creativity.” This of course has paved the way for newer legislation which has resulted in agencies such as NASA unbundling contracts in an effort to make business more manageable for small enterprises, or groups of small enterprises.

Reader Question: Is a strong small business sector important to the stability and growth of a nation’s economy?

Contract War Stories from the Trenches
Yes, indeed, oral business contracts are enforceable… but written contracts are preferable. If I offer to sell you my product for a specific dollar amount, you pay the amount asked, and I deliver to you my product... voila, we have completed our contract! Would that they were all so smooth (hint: they aren't).

Contract Management Services – For The Supplier Or The Purchaser.
Contract management services are the management of purchasing and supply contracts by external consultancy companies. These are two-fold. The first is a service provided to purchasers who require one or more of their contracts to me managed.

Are You Ready for Data Security Compliance Language?
While spending much of the summer reviewing and renewing contracts for my clients, I started to see contract clauses being regularly inserted to protect the other party from exposure to violations of data security and privacy laws and regulations. Given the stiff enforcement penalties and, even worse, the bad publicity which can result when a company has a data security breach, it's no surprise that many businesses are beginning to update their contracts to comply with these new state and federal rules.

Can You Afford To Treat PQQs Lightly?
Companies that are planning to enter the lucrative business of working for the Government or big private companies need to know many things about the complicated process of getting these contracts.

Bid Training – Why Do You Need It?
Do you apply for a great number of government or private contracts only to get eliminated in the process of tendering? Are there many contracts that you hear of too late to apply for? This is a common fate that befalls many companies, especially small ones that do not have the resources to do the bid process carefully and efficiently enough.

Customer Supplied Agreements... Two Suggested Changes Before Signing
The holiday season invariably finds my clients pushing aggressively to turn sales into contracts and lock those contracts down by the end of the year. It's understandable… we all want to begin the new year strong, with lots of contracts in the pipeline. The rush to sign at year end, however, can have dire consequences, particularly for those accustomed to using their own standard form of services contract rather than signing a customer's form of agreement.
The Differences Between Federal and California Labor Laws
Most employers recognize that that there are both federal and state laws that regulate how business is conducted. What many do not realize is how these state and federal approaches may vary.
