Many public policy officials and business people object to the protest process in US government contracting.
Among other things, they assert that:
in the commercial world - it's unusual and counter-productive for vendors to sue their (prospective) clients - or, in other words - you don't bite the hand that feeds you;
protests delay the award of contracts and disrupt the government's ability to engage in the business of governance (e.g., serving the public, defending the nation, solving problems, etc.);
there are too many incentives for losers (or whiners) or disappointed offerors to protest - particularly when it comes to incumbent contractors on routine service contracts (such as food service or custodial contracts) - the protest process all but guarantees the incumbent two or three extra months of work on a contract they lost fair and square;
protests are expensive - they waste the government's scarce resources - and the only winners are the attorneys;

Review the FAR definition of "commercial item" in FAR 2.101. Focus specifically on parts (5) and (6).
Part 1: Do you think it make sense that "services" are included in the definition of commercial "items"? Or, for example, should there be a different definition for "commercial services"? Explain (briefly).
Part 2: Review FAR 12.102, including the use of "shall" in 12.102(a). Which of the following statements do you think is more accurate (and why)?
(1) If the government buys something that is a commercial item under FAR 2.101, that procurement is a contract for commercial items.
(2) Just because the government buys something that is a commercial item under FAR 2.101, that does not mean that the procurement is a contract for commercial items. The government is not required to take advantage of the flexibilities offered in FAR Part 12.
(3) Neither (1) nor (2).
(4) Both (1) and (2).
* Remember not to forget the "why" part of the question. In other words, please explain your response.
