Excerpt
Preface: In this guide, we explain the basic purchasing rules andregulations of the Department of Defense (D.O.D.). We do not offerdirect assistance in locating sale opportunities, although the appendix lists several excellent sources of marketing information. Every D.O.D. purchasing office has at least one Small Business Specialist who can provide information on contracting and subcontracting opportunities with that office and at other D.O.D. contracting offices. Those specialists can also assist you if problems arise during the performance of a contract.
