CONTRACT LAW

Contracting is the principal means by which Starfleet acquires goods and services from the private sector. Judge advocates are involved in all phases of the acquisition process. Contract law judge advocates provide advice concerning acquisition process and statutory and regulatory constraints involved in providing for Starfleet operations. They also provide counsel on the acquisition of goods and services for Starfleet. Contract law includes:

(1) Development, award, and administration of appropriated and non-appropriated contracts.

(2) The proper utilization and expenditure of material.

(3) The operation of the Commercial Activities Program.

(4) The coordination and monitoring of remedies in an effective fraud abatement program.

(5) The application of federation, planetary, and local laws to government contractors.

(6) Contract related litigation, disputes, and protests.

(7) Labor, environmental, and intellectual property law applicable to contractors.

(8) Procurement integrity and contract fraud laws.

(9) Advice for proposed inter-service, interdepartmental, and interplanetary agreements for logistic support and for proposed agreements on joint utilization of facilities and real property controlled by Starfleet.

(10) Advice on interplanetary real estate and construction issues.
