Guidebook for Acquiring Commercial Items: Part A & Part B

The Guidebook for Acquiring Commercial Items (Jan 2018) is written for anyone seeking additional understanding on commercial items-the definition, the determination, and how to price them. This includes supplies purchased from the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule (GSA FSS), which are considered commercial items. Contracting officers have asked for more examples in the guidebook, and we have complied. All examples are hypothetical to illustrate a point and bear no relation to any actual experience. A short, simple example is labelled an "Application." More complex examples are termed "Practical Examples" and follow a standard format: Objective; Background; Analysis; Results; and Takeaways. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com Other titles we print for acquisition professionals include: FAR Federal Acquisition Regulation DFARS Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement DFAR PGI DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) AFARS Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement DAG Defense Acquisition Guidebook (Chapters 1 - 10) FITARA Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Army Corps of Engineers Acquisition Instruction and Desk Guide Principles of Federal Appropriations Law DoDi 5000.02 Operation of the Defense Acquisition System DoD Contract Pricing Reference Guide Contract Attorneys Deskbook DCAA Contract Audit Manual DoD Glossary of Defense Acquisition Acronyms and Terms
