CHANTILLY, VA — Lonnie Coleman, a mechanical contractor from Cleveland, OH, testified recently before the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR). Representing more than 12,000 specialty contractor firms of the Mechanical Electrical Sheet Metal Alliance, Coleman urged that FAR reinstate the clarified contractor responsibility determination procedures included in the Dec. 20 final rule.
“The taxpayers benefit much more from improving business practices in the public contracting market under the revised rules,” said Coleman.
