Government contracts

Whereas new appHcations of lithium compounds were developed, commercial growth was slow. In 1953 worldwide sales of lithium products, expressed as lithium carbonate, were only ca 1000 metric tons (2). In 1954 the U.S. lithium industry underwent a sudden, very large expansion when the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission required large amounts of lithium hydroxide [1310-65-2] for its nuclear weapons program (see Nuclearreactors). Three domestic producers built 4500-t/yr plants to meet contract commitments with the U.S. government. When these government contracts ended in 1960, capacity exceeded demand and several operations were discontinued. 

Polyhedral Boron Hydrides. Although relatively large quantities of polyhedral boron hydrides and carboranes have been produced under various government contracts, these materials are not currendy produced on a regular commercial basis. Pentaborane(9) nido- and decaborane(14) and carboranes, such as the ortho and meta-carboranes closo-1 1 well as various other derivatives, are...

For many government contracts and for most major projects, or where the performance of the coating is vital, supplies of paint are often sampled at the manufacturer s works and checked in a laboratory to ensure that they conform to the standard specified. This may be a written standard for composition or performance or a proprietary paint which has been approved by long experience or special trials.

Farben s government contracts contained mutual pledges of secrecy. Farben pledged not to tell what was being produced. The government pledged that if they ran across trade secrets in inspecting the Farben producers at work, they would reveal them to no one. 

Solectria even had government contracts from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and won a bid to build a lightweight Sunrise EV. But, just as Solectria was looking for a partner, the auto companies own electric programs were being launched. Major automakers had their own designs in cars like the GM EV1. The Sunrise did not make it into production and only a few prototypes were built. Solectria did go on to build the Force EV, which is a converted Chevrolet Metro and the company was involved in the GM CitiVan, which was an urban delivery vehicle. 

Poor Harry In response to what must have been a withering barrage of questions from reporters, he at first conceded that the Arthur D. Little firm regularly accepted substantial government contracts involving secret work. He then made the disastrous admission that he might occasionally fend off a questioner to protect a secret project. If I had a contract with anybody - well, our clients are held in confidence unless they themselves want to disclose, Dr. Pars said. I think that s an Arthur D. Little policy. ... 

Alongside these are specialty areas such as the provision of vaccines at local level or negotiating for government contracts (a market with opportunities and constraints which are very different to either those of the hospital or those of primary care therapeutic markets). Hence the compatibility of an opportunity with the business of the company, defined as its customers, is an issue of crucial importance in setting up the parameters for a desirable product. 

The empirical situation is mixed (Sijm et al., this issue). In countries with liberalized power markets, generators have passed through most of the opportunity costs, as expected, with aggregate profits totalling billions of euros. There are notable exceptions, including France and Spain, where the retail price levels are set by government contracts or regulation.10 However, whilst consumers may welcome such protection from the real costs of C02, all these approaches create distortions that can prevent entry from third parties and undermine the intended incentives for companies to reduce C02 emissions and for consumers to reduce electricity consumption.

The supposed industry leader when it came to community service couldn t even win the ultimate community service bid—a government contract to produce 155 million doses of smallpox vaccine pronto in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks and the follow-up anthrax scare. 

The use of affirmative action as a means of setting quotas for employment, admission to educational institutions, and the awarding of government contracts is in and of itsef discriminatory and should therefore be revoked as a public program.

Because his family members were Quakers, Ellis admitted that his father—despite the fact that throughout the Civil War every old thing was salable in the way of dmgs —could not out of principle take advantage of the lucrative government contracts that would become available with the conflict.Others could, and did.
