For those outside of the acquisitions community, the practices, policies and processes of federal procurement can seem quite impenetrable. But given that the US Government spent more than $665 billion on contracts in 2020, it is not a subject to be ignored.
To that end, The Buzz with ACT-IAC presents: Demystifying Procurement - a series designed to take you through the ins and outs of this complex, but vital, topic.
This week, host Colin Larsen interviews lawyer, author and lecturer Jim Nagle. In addition to his over 40 years of experience in procurement law, Jim has also published six books on the subject - including History of Government Contracting.
In this episode, Jim gives some important historical background on how the federal acquisitions system developed, how it changed, and why.
