In business, the conventional wisdom generally has been embodied in the variously attributed quotation, “If you build a better mouse trap, the world will beat a path to your door.” Certain particularly militant animal-rights groups may beat such a path, but in federal acquisition the focus is not completely on the “better mouse trap.”

In addition to the widgets solicited, the USG imposes and expects rigid compliance with a host of mandates covering a variety of things tangentially or completely unrelated to widgets. We are all familiar with the requirements of ORCA, but few are aware of the high degree of emphasis that the government currently is placing on a contractor’s “implied certification” of compliance with these mandates, and the serious consequences attendant to noncompliance.
