If you are one of the 300,000 Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors with a DoD contract dated after December 31, 2017, you must conduct a self-assessment, document policies and procedures, and comply with contract Sections L or M.

The policies and procedures in this guide are based on the MEP Cybersecurity Toolkit, developed by Carnegie Mellon University for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and available in the public domain. These materials evolved into today’s NIST 800-171 framework, shaping cybersecurity best practices for DIB contractors.This guide provides a complete self-assessment of the 110 DFARS controls and helps establish company policies for compliance. It also includes a hyperlink to official government instructions for updating your Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) Score to 88, a critical step in securing DoD contracts.A detailed Incident Response Plan (IRP) is included to help small DIB contractors prepare for cyber threats and meet DFARS 252.204-7012 reporting mandates. Without one, even a minor security breach could become a major financial and contractual risk.This guide clearly lays out easy-to-follow directions for small business DIB contractors.

Read this book for insightful, well grounded, incremental, and practical advice on how to solve the Contracting Problem."– Martin Clausen, former General Counsel of Maersk Line and Managing Director of Syngrato"Alex Hamilton is a compelling voice in contracts.

Alex's new book colorfully validates the first belief and systematically dismantles the second. This is a must read for anyone who is serious about contracting.”– Michael Naughton Vice President xMentium, previously Director of Legal Service Innovation at Cisco"So much of the effort to fix broken contracting, adds complexity and cost without addressing the real fundamental issues.

A must-have reference for contract management professionals, the CMBOK presents what should be learned by contract managers and how they should learn it. The content was developed through a voluntary consensus process governed and administered by NCMA to promote the fair development of consensus. This consensus was established through a job task analysis survey of contract managers and working groups comprised of subject matter experts in contract management.The CMBOK is not solely for the benefit of contract managers; contract managers are not the only ones involved in contract management activities. Numerous stakeholders measure success or failure by contract performance. Knowledge of contract management and competent contract management processes directly impacts the success of contract performance.The seventh edition of the CMBOK is primarily driven by the changes to the Contract Management Standard™ (CMS™). In June 2022, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) reaffirmed the NCMA CMS™ as an American National Standard (ANS). This ANS [ANSI/NCMA ASD 1-2019 (R2022)—see Annex] serves as the CMBOK’s foundational document to expand, refine, and reorganize contract management knowledge.The CMBOK provides further definition of the field of contract management; the framework for the body of knowledge; and the practices, lexicon, and processes of contract management. In addition, it provides procedural steps for contract management processes in general, as well as for specialized areas, including government or commercial contracting. Read more

Consumers routinely enter into long-term contracts with providers of goods and services - from credit cards, mortgages, cell phones, insurance, TV, and internet services to household appliances, theatre and sports events, health clubs, magazine subscriptions, transportation, and more. Across these consumer markets certain design features of contracts are recurrent, and puzzling. Why do sellers design contracts to provide short-term benefits and impose long-term costs? Why are low introductory prices so common? Why are the contracts themselves so complex, with numerous fees and interest rates, tariffs and penalties? Seduction by Contract explains how consumer contracts emerge from the interaction between market forces and consumer psychology. Consumers are short-sighted and optimistic, so sellers compete to offer short-term benefits, while imposing long-term costs. Consumers are imperfectly rational, so sellers hide the true costs of products and services in complex contracts. Consumers are seduced by contracts that increase perceived benefits, without actually providing more benefits, and decrease perceived costs, without actually reducing the costs that consumers ultimately bear. Competition does not help this behavioural market failure. It may even exacerbate it. Sellers, operating in a competitive market, have no choice but to align contract design with the psychology of consumers. A high-road seller who offers what she knows to be the best contract will lose business to the low-road seller who offers what the consumer mistakenly believes to be the best contract. Put bluntly, competition forces sellers to exploit the biases and misperceptions of their customers. Seduction by Contract argues that better legal policy can help consumers and enhance market efficiency. Disclosure mandates provide a promising avenue for regulatory intervention. Simple, aggregate disclosures can help consumers make better choices. Comprehensive disclosures can facilitate the work of intermediaries, enabling them to better advise consumers. Effective disclosure would expose the seductive nature of consumer contracts and, as a result, reduce sellers' incentives to write inefficient contracts. Developing its explanation through a general framework and detailed case studies of three major consumer markets (credit cards, mortgages, and cell phones), Seduction by Contract is an accessible introduction to the law and economics of consumer contracts, and a powerful critique of current regulatory policy.
