FedSubK Snapshots
Take A Deeper Dive into Acquisition Topics
What is the FAR? Are you new to doing business with the Government and keep hearing the term "FAR" thrown around? Learn about the Federal Acquisition Regulation, what it is, how it changes, and the parts and subparts that--from a FAR SME's perspective--are a good primer for new (and not so new) Federal contractors.
Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) & What it Means to You!

Learn about the NMR requirements and ensure your business is competitive for Federal supply opportunities this end of fiscal year.
