Why are federal government contracts subject to specialized rules that are not applicable to contracts between commercial firms? |
 |
Because the Federal Government uses public funds in purchasing products and services vital to military and civilian programs, the public has a significant interest in the assurance that Government contractual transactions are fair and efficient. This public interest in most instances is stronger than the public interest concerning fair and efficient dealings between private parties.
The procurement laws and implementing regulations attempt to preclude Government personnel from engaging in wasteful or inefficient practices while directing private firms to be fair in their dealings with the Government. |
