Eugene Massengale provides a much needed comprehensive review of
the basic federal statutes and implementing regulations governing
contracting with the United States government, as interpreted by
the courts, boards of contract appeals, and the Comptroller General
of the United States. His in-depth examination of the relationship
between the common law of contracts and federal contracting also
considers the underlying constitutional implications of government
procurement.
Massengale reviews the principal federal statutes governing
contracting with the United States and discusses the authority of
government agents to enter into a contract. He reviews the major
procurement methods authorized by statute and the case law that has
interpreted the regulations prescribing these methods. The author
assesses the formality of sealed bidding and the flexibility of
negotiation. He discusses the all-important issue of when and what
types of changes are permitted under government contracts. He
delineates the instances in which a contractor's failure to perform
the work contracted for may be excusable and those in which the
government may terminate a contract. Other issues considered are
the government's right to audit a contractor's records; disputes,
claims, and their resolution under the Contract Disputes Act of
1978; and debarment proceedings and the consequences of debarment
and suspension. This comprehensive text is a must acquisition for
contract administrators in government and industry, lawyers, and
contractors doing business with the federal government. It could
also be used as a textbook in courses on federal contract law.
