-APPLICABILITY TO CLAIMS UNDER THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACT
The Old and archaic concept of Sovereign immunity that “King can do no wrong” still haunts us, where the state claim immunity for its tortious acts and denies compensation to the aggrieved party.
The doctrine of sovereign immunity is based on the Common Law principle borrowed from the British Jurisprudence that the King commits no wrong and that he cannot be guilty of personal negligence or misconduct, and as such cannot be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of his servants. Another aspect of this doctrine was that it was an attribute of sovereignty that a State cannot be sued in its own courts without its consent.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix

Registering Your Business For Government Contracting
1. Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce

Registering Your Business For Government Contracting
DUNS number and NAICS codes
Businesses interested in doing business with the United States Federal Government in
any or all of it’s forms, including the branches of the military and the various departments
and government agencies, will first need to receive a DUNS number from Dun &
Bradstreet. Dun & Bradstreet can be contacted at phone #800-333-0505 or #610-882-
7000 or through their website at www.dnb.com. They are a business and may initiate
their own sales process but please take note you need not purchase anything or agree
to anything to receive your DUNS number. The DUNS number is required in order to
register in the Central Contractors Registration. It takes about three business days to
receive the number. Also required is the NAICS code (North American Industry
Classification System) that applies to your business. You can research this at
www.naics.com and click on the search. You will need to write down the six code digit to
any and all services that apply to your business and the various services you may offer.
Central Contractors Registration Database
Registration can then be done online at www.ccr.gov. The online process takes almost
two hours depending on the speed of your computer and your innate knowledge of your
business. Make sure to have as much information about your business, the services you
offer, past performances, and contracts you have fulfilled. Even new businesses are
encouraged to register. When you receive the message, “You have successfully
completed registration” read the information after that and continue on. What follows is
the section where you list your contact information and a brief business description that
will help market your business. The CCR database does allow for updates and you can
log back onto their website as your business and contact information change.
Once your business is successfully entered it can be viewed by anyone logging into the
website. Many Government agencies and departments log into this database and search
by state, region, or NAICS code for the various services they require. Some state and
local municipalities use this database for services they need as well. Other businesses
also use this website for business matching to combine services or expertise with other
registered businesses to help win contracts.
Past Performance Review Score
Some contracts require a Past Performance Review score and the U.S. General
Services Administration recommends the private contractor Open Ratings, Inc. They will
survey your customers and assign a score to your company according to the replies they
receive. This score will be used to compare your past performance with others. Open
Ratings, Inc. charges about $175.00 but check with them for an exact cost. Visit
www.openratings.com or call #727-329-1184 or email reports@openratings.com for
additional guidance. If you have already registered with the GSA you can request a copy
be sent to GSA via email address it.center@gsa.gov.
ORCA: Online Representations & Certifications Application
Some federal solicitations may require you to have an active ORCA status. ORCA is an
online, streamlined process to providing Reps and Certs (Representations and
Certifications.) To get started with this process visit www.bpn.gov/orca.

Getting Started with General Services Administration (GSA)
The majority of small businesses who contract with the government contract with the
GSA. The GSA constructs, manages, and preserves government buildings. GSA's
acquisition solutions offer private sector professional services, equipment, supplies,
telecommunications, and information technology to government organizations and the
military. GSA does allow for online submission of bids but users must obtain an Access
Certificate from www.gsa.gov/eoffer/emod and an Electronic Authorization Certificate in
order to use the online bid system from www.gsa.gov/aces.
Federal Business Opportunities
To search all open contracts for all government agencies, including the GSA, visit
www.fbo.gov. The “FedBizOpps” website allows commercial vendors (you) to search
and retrieve opportunities solicited by the entire government. You will need to download
the job you are interested in bidding on and then call the contact number for that job to
determine if an online submission is available. If not you will need to print and mail the
document manually.
You will need to visit the website of every agency you would like to provide your services
to and register with them if they allow online submissions. Each agency has their own
procurement office and different forms and requirements.
Note: Be familiar with regulations before you bid! Find out what the regulations are at
www.regulations.gov.
Getting Security Clearance
Different types of work or services may require a security clearance. There are varying
levels of security clearance and as you progress in government contracting you may
need to increase your security clearance. Some businesses have complained that in
order to be awarded a contract they needed a certain level of security. They were told in
order to get that security clearance they would need to be awarded a contract first. A
helpful hint to get around this is to first register with the Department of Defense at
http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/ and specifically ask for a security clearance from them.
That way you avoid the backlog waiting list of a procurement officer in another agency. It
still may take some time to receive a security rating.
Subcontracting
Numerous opportunities exist for subcontracting. Many larger companies will search the
CCR database for companies they would like to subcontract for a specific bid for certain
services and this action is called “business matching.” Minority-owned and woman-
owned businesses are often sought to fulfill certain requirements. Some helpful websites
to visit when considering business matching are
http://www.sba.gov/contractingopportunities/owners/basics/GC_SUBCONTRACTING.ht
ml and http://www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/doing_business/index.htm.
Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC)
A Procurement Specialist can help you navigate your solicitation package (bid) including
pricing and requirements, making sure you are registered with the correct databases and
3. Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce

agencies, developing a cost accounting system, bonding, interim financing, planning,
and preparing for the post-contract audit. To learn more about PTAC or locate a local
Procurement Specialist visit http://www.aptac-us.org/new/. You can also try the National
Institute of Government Purchasing, Inc. at http://www.nigp.org/eweb/
As you can see getting started takes a lot of time and a lot of patience. Learning the
rules and regulations for each job and each agency can be a lot. Only you can determine
the amount of time you can afford to pursue a Government contract. To find out if
contracting with the Government is right for your company visit
http://www.sba.gov/contractingopportunities/owners/basics/GC_SELLING_TO_GOVT.ht
ml.
More helpful hints
• If you are interested in doing business with a particular agency or office take the
time to visit them and get to know them. Procurement Specialists are under a
heavy workload and a lot of pressure. Small Business Procurement Specialists
are inundated with calls and contacts from thousands of businesses. Respect
their time, set appointments, be on time, and keep those appointments. If you call
regarding a contract make your questions very clear and precise. They will
respect you and will be more interested in doing business with your company. As
your relationship with them grows you may be alerted to their future needs or
procurement forecast. (Lingo alert: the government calls upcoming opportunities
“procurement forecast.”)
• Your business card should be a mini-resume for your company and should
include your name, your personal certifications, your company name, phone, fax,
email address, website, your company’s certifications (WBE, etc.) and the back
of the card should list all of the NAICS codes for your company. Procurement
Specialists can see at a glance what you have to offer and that you are serious
about doing business with the Government.
• Be prepared to spend a lot of your time doing this whole process. Some
companies spend months registering with the various agencies and working on
their bid.
• After you find an opportunity on fedbizopps (www.fbo.gov) read up on the
regulations before you submit your bid. Fully understanding the regulations
beforehand can help you tailor your bid to their needs.
• Consider also tailoring your company description and/or the services you offer to
match the bid. Your company may have the capacity to provide many services
but too much can actually be a red flag. Choose the most important services you
want to market and specialize in those. If a need arises for other services you still
have the option to say, “We can do that too.”
