What is a federal government procurement contract?
Contracts for federal government procurement usually involve appropriated funds spent on supplies, services, and interests in real property by and for the use of the Federal Government through purchase or lease, whether the supplies, services, or interests are already in existence or must be created, developed, demonstrated, and evaluated.
Does the government negotiate price based on cost?

The Government typically does not negotiate these terms.
