Quick-kit and Guidance now
appear together on this page. In effect, this is two pages
in one. In the left column is Quickit with its links to
tools. In the right column is Guidance, with its handbooks
and guides. As before on the Guidance page, items are
listed according to the Federal Acquisition Regulation. At
the bottom of the page, the travel, weather, and little helpers
are added from Quickit. If you have an item that would fit
well here, please send an e-mail to
Wifcon.com and provide a
link to the item.
NOTE: A number of the U. S. government
web sites linked below are on "https" servers which are designed
to add security and protect the website from being "hijacked."
However, your web browser may indicate that the "security
certificate" for the website is defective. This may be
caused by the owner of the website or server not maintaining its
certificates properly or some other type of problem between the
website and internet browser. If you decide to "continue
to this website," click "View" in your web browser, then
"security report", and check the "certification path" to
determine if the certificate is "OK."
