What Is Government Contracting?
Get to know how it works
Government contracting is the process by which federal, state, or local government agencies buy goods and services from private businesses.
It’s how the U.S. government fulfills its needs — everything from building fighter jets to cleaning offices or providing IT support — through legally binding contracts with private companies.
Get to know the history
US Revolutionary War Era (1775–1783): The Origins
-
The Continental Congress and George Washington’s Continental Army began using private contractors to supply food, weapons, uniforms, and ships.
-
These were the first examples of government contracting — informal agreements with private suppliers to support military efforts.
-
Notable examples include Robert Morris (the “Financier of the Revolution”) arranging contracts for arms and ships.
Early Federal Contracting System (1789–1860s)
-
After the U.S. Constitution (1789) created the federal government, Congress began authorizing executive agencies to procure goods and services.
-
In 1798, Congress passed laws allowing the War Department to enter formal contracts for rations, horses, and uniforms.
-
The Navy Department (est. 1798) also began contracting for ships and naval supplies.
These laid the foundation for what we now call federal procurement.
Civil War to Early 1900s: Formal Oversight
-
The Civil War (1861–1865) caused a boom in federal contracting — especially for railroads, arms, and textiles — but also major scandals.
-
This led to the creation of the Commission on War Claims and early procurement regulations to fight fraud and corruption.
Modern Federal Procurement Framework (1900s–Present)
-
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act (1949) and the Armed Services Procurement Act (1947) formally established modern contracting procedures.
-
These laws eventually led to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) system, issued in 1984, which still governs nearly all U.S. federal contracts today.
