1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 One of the most common sources of friction in federal contracting isn’t disagreement over facts — it’s a difference between contractor expectations and Government intent. Contractors often approach situations based on what seems reasonable from execution in the field, while contracting officers must evaluate those same situations through risk, documentation, and long-term accountability. In this episode, we’re discussing how those expectations and intentions can diverge, why misunderstandings develop even when both sides are acting in good faith, and how understanding the Government’s decision environment can help contractors position issues in a way that leads to progress instead of resistance. This is not legal advice or contract representation. It’s perspective from the other side of the table, intended to help you better understand the environment you’re operating in.
