Credits: 2
Explores the basic elements of the $500 billion federal procurement market and the state and local markets estimated to be of roughly equal size. Public contracting presents unique and highly challenging legal issues spanning acquisition planning, bidding, contract performance, administrative law, fraud, litigation, corporate compliance, and complex transactions. Students gain a practical understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, competitive solicitation requirements, sole source awards, and bid protests for application to real-world practice environments. Draws upon Texas and potentially other state procurement laws for comparative purposes. Examines the relationships between private contractors and various government customers, with emphasis on the defense industry and conflict of interest concerns.
