Introduction to Federal Government Procurement

First in a series of educational segments on the federal government procurement basics, methods, processes and regulations. Government procurement is a critical component of government operations yet is so poorly understood by many. (And I can't believe I uploaded this one with my hair looking so horrible- but oh well.)

What?!? Me long winded? How rude! (If you can't tell I'm being sarcastic- I am well aware of my tendencies for overkill). I hadn't actually intended on making videos for businesses wanting to get involved (since my goal was overall education in the very elaborate and painful processes), but I am open to accommodating such topics and sharing what I know in that regard. I'm moving to Italy and will probably need another six weeks before I can start up making segments again. So watch this space!

Hi Jennifer, it's good seeing you again (even if it is on the computer)!  You taught my CON 110 class in Denver in 2005, and I so enjoyed your instruction! You gave me a clear view of the years that were to come as an 1102, and wow!! It has been quite a ride! No one but another 1102 can understand the joys and frustrations we go through on a daily basis. Best wishes to you and thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

TresPeshe, WOW thank you for sharing your knowlegde with us. However I have a question for you, I am register with CCR and i am clear to do business with the govenment however I am the power of one and I am not a business owner but I still feel that i could do very well at this. I have had numerous bids for jobs through other contartors but it all seems to come to a head when the payment time frame comes up. Ive been told that

Thank you for making government procurement easier to understand. I look forward in viewing other materials / videos you have posted. I've been researching on Government Contracting and have registered w/CCR/ORCA etc. and there is a lot of terminology i don't quite understand. Hopefully watching you're other videos will clear some things up for me. Keep up the great work!

Thank you, I am a business man and found your information to be what I am looking for. Please keep posting, as the information your providing is not easy to find. I am glad you are providing information as if I don't know anything about the subject, because I am rather ignorant when it comes to the regulations involved in government sales. Besides I feel I can ask you a question about this topic and feel you would be able to accurately answer them.
