Government agencies spend over half their procurement budgets on the acquisition of services from contractors, so the efficient and effective acquisition of those services is vital to our nation. The ABA Section of Public Contract Law's Services Contracting Best Practices Task Force was formed to examine the state of services contracting in the federal government.

Experienced members from the government, academia, industry and law firms represented the different stakeholders involved in services contracting. Their strong participation enabled the Task Force to identify, examine and collect the best practices that are employed in services contracting that assist in effectively and efficiently achieving the desired results.

This objective of Services Contracting Best Practices: A Guide to Successful Services Contracting is to provide acquisition professionals with a hands-on tool to assist in the proper acquisition and management of services.
