Where's GBC???

Many have asked what’s going on with my Monday Morning Contracting Tips. Well I’ve been in Afghanistan for a few weeks establishing partnership relationships to conduct business international. Through my travels I was able to connect with several Afghan companies who has an interest to do business with the federal government. Through a Strategic Partnership Alliance relationship with my JE Group company, these companies are now in a position to do business with the federal government as a Prime as well as a Sub-Contractor. Teaming and Joint Venture is recognize by the Federal Acquisition Regulation.          

Does the FAR recognize Teaming?  
The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team
arrangements; provided, the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer or, for arrangements entered into after submission of an offer, before the arrangement becomes effective. (FAR 9.603)

What Types of Contractor Teams Does the FAR Recognize?
FAR 9.601 Reads:
Contractor team arrangement,” as used in this subpart, means an arrangement in which—
• Two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor
• A potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program.
