What not to overlook when reading a government contract

Government contracts are well organized: divided into four parts and into fourteen sections. Every part contains important information, however, don’t overlook these sections:

• Inspection and acceptance
• Packaging and marking
• Delivery and performance
• Boiler plate clauses – clauses incorporated by reference
• Evaluation factors for the award

As you go over the contract ask yourself if you can comply with the requirements, the risks involved, and if the cost of compliance is a task a business is willing to undertake. To help the process of reading the contract create a checklist so it can facilitate your review.
