Curtis A. Merriweather Jr.: Demystifying Government Contracting, Gebunden

Klappentext

The federal government spends more than a trillion dollars annually on goods and services. Most contractors enter that market chasing contracts. The ones who build lasting enterprises enter it with a fundamentally different objective.

Demystifying Government Contracting is the practical guide for entrepreneurs who want to build, scale, and ultimately own a durable business inside the federal marketplace--not just win individual awards. Built around the Four Stages of Government Contracting framework, the book walks readers through the full arc of enterprise development:

• How to structure, register, and launch a credible contracting operation
• How to identify federal buyers, develop a competitive position, and execute a capture strategy
• How to price work, build teams, and manage compliance without career-ending mistakes
• How to attract private equity, position for acquisition, and convert years of execution into enterprise value

Unlike other books on government contracting, this book begins before the proposal and ends after the contract. It's for the first-time contractor navigating SAM. gov registration, the established firm preparing for full and open competition, or the owner building toward an exit, delivering the strategic architecture the federal marketplace rarely teaches and most practitioners learn too late.
