Govcon Launch

The government and all of its respective agencies are in a war to spend, more and more money. With policies like "use it or lose it" and our military industrial complex it's no wonder why we've have been on a spending tear since World War II. To make matters more attractive to small businesses (as defined by Small Business Administration rules) the United States is consistently spending huge sums of money with new suppliers. They continuously develop programs that foster small business growth, encourage corporate expansion and at times outright market monopolization. You as an individual reading this book have the ability to come into the government spending market and become a dominant player, but only if you know how to get to your product/service into the hands of government buyers.

Congratulations on your decision to pick up a copy of the Govcon Launch. You're about to gain in depth insight and practical knowledge into the highly lucrative yet often misunderstood world of landing government contracts and working with the biggest, financially stable and often most complex customer in the world. By complex, I mean someone or something doing activities that do not fall in line with conventional guidelines or standard commercial practices. To a foreigner with little experience in this arena, the procurement rules, policies, buying vehicles, agencies, acronyms reflect a cobweb of connecting lines with no start or end point. As you enter the corn maze, your confusion grows, and you are presented with a labyrinth of options from local; state to federal, GSA to 8(a). The names swell, the acronyms swell, the choices balloon, and the starting point becomes foggier and grows distant. I realized these points from the moment I set foot into this marketplace back in 2007, looking for direction. Today in this book, I will be sharing: my personal journey, experiences, habits for success, learning experiences, tools used, and lessons mastered. All of my learning was experiential, which forced me to take a long, hard, bumpy and often not so fun path towards winning contracts. I hope that by sharing my experiences that when you finish this book, you can: 1)Determine if government contracting is right for you2)Figure out a starting point for your journey3)Create an action plan for your business 4)Know the activities that will lead to your success5)Become inspired to start doing business in this marketplace If I help you accomplish any one of the five objectives above or all five, then I have done my job in writing this book. This book does not reflect a complete timeline of my story nor will it reveal every single step I took. Yet, I decided to pull out the parts of the stories that would serve most useful in explaining concepts and theories to the reader. Since I am a visual person, I wanted to write so people could conceptualize the big picture in their head. This is both my hope and my goal.

Each year, the federal government awards billions of dollars in small-business contracts. The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts puts a wealth of specialized legal counsel at readers’ fingertips, answering the most important compliance questions like: Is a small business really small? Who is eligible for HUBZone, 8(a), SDVO, or WOSB programs? What salaries and benefits must be offered? What ethical requirements must be followed? When does affiliation become a liability?

Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

A compelling case can be made that violent crime, especially after the 1960s, was one of the most significant domestic issues in the United States. Indeed, few issues had as profound an effect on American life in the last third of the twentieth century. After 1965, crime rose to such levels that it frightened virtually all Americans and prompted significant alterations in everyday behaviors and even lifestyles. The risk of being mugged was a concern when Americans chose places to live and schools for their children, selected commuter routes to work, and planned their leisure activities. In some locales, people were afraid to leave their dwellings at any time, day or night, even to go to the market. In the worst of the post-1960s crime wave, Americans spent part of each day literally looking back over their shoulders. The Rise and Fall of Violent Crime in America is the first book to comprehensively examine this important phenomenon over the entire postwar era. It combines a social history of the United States with the insights of criminology and examines the relationship between rising and falling crime and such historical developments as the postwar economic boom, suburbanization and the rise of the middle class, baby booms and busts, war and antiwar protest, the urbanization of minorities, and more.
