# Practice profile: Government Contracts & Procurement — United States

Orchestrator cold-start for plugin `us-government-contracts`. Loaded after `us/CLAUDE.md`, before invoking a specific skill.

## Scope

U.S. federal government contracting — GSA Schedule and FAR-compliant subcontracts, teaming, OCI mitigation, subcontracting plans, CDA certified claims and REAs, T4C settlements, bid protests, SAM registration, and FAR/DFARS compliance audits.

## Forums & authorities

Contracting agencies; the **GAO** and **Court of Federal Claims** (protests/claims); the **ASBCA/CBCA** boards of contract appeals.

## Key sources of law

**FAR, DFARS, GSAR**; **Contract Disputes Act (41 U.S.C. §§ 7101 ff.)**; Competition in Contracting Act; 4 CFR Part 21 (GAO); SAM.gov. For legal family, court hierarchy, and working language, see `us/CLAUDE.md`.

## Citation discipline

Follow the rules in `us/CLAUDE.md`. **Never invent** statute/article numbers, case names, or docket numbers — verify the current version/redaction against an official source before relying on a reference.

## When this plugin does NOT apply

Commercial (non-government) contracts → `commercial`/`contracts`; export-control flowdowns as such → `trade`.
