Course Title:SC Legal Aspects of Purchasing

Email:(No class information available)

Every aspect of the procurement process is highly regulated, and every procurement is designed to result in a contract. Spotting the legal issues involved can avoid protests, contract disputes, and disappointed program staff. The topics addressed include protests, contract disputes, contract formation, change orders, legal authority to contract, negotiations, assignments, confidentiality, selected clauses (e.g., indemnification), liquidated damages, and minor informalities.
