by Robert Sullivan

SORRY, THIS TITLE IS NOW OUT OF PRINT.
Copies may still be available in bookstores or libraries.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Selling your Product or Service to Uncle Sam. This is not a "where to find it" guide. It contains details and specifics!

Gerald A. Cann, Former Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development & Acquisition
