1. After reading the "Procurement Objectives," describe the rights and prioritize them - which do you think is most important?
2. What does Mark Twain'sThe Facts in the Case of the Great Beef Contracttell us about how public procurement is perceived? Do you think much has changed since he wrote it in the 1800's?
3. After watching the videos, do you feel better or worse about the federal government's contracting processes? As a taxpayer, do you feel like the US federal government should have fewer regulations so that it would be easier for businesses, foreign and domestic, to win contracts?
