payment is made at conclusion of work.• Provides for the greatest profit potential.• Poses greater risks.
2. Cost-reimbursement contracts• Reimbursement for allowable costs may be allowed;
sometimes “cost-plus” contracts allow costs and certain percentage of profit.

1. U.S. Department of Defense (DOD)-said to be largest single enterprise in world.
2. Non-defense procurement administered by wide variety of agencies.
Two Procurement Strategies
1. Formal Advertising—the government solicits bids from suppliers, and usually the lowest bidder is awarded the contract.
2. Negotiated Contract—used to purchase products or services that are not differentiated on price alone, competition is common.
3. Terms : LI / TI, RC, BOOT, EMD, SD, PBG, Inspection
The Institutional Market
• Schools, health care organizations, non-profit agencies.
• Similar to government buyers--political considerations and laws.
• Similar to commercial buyers--often managed like corporations--broad range of purchase requirements.
• Group purchasing quite common.
• Multiple Buying Influences
