Happy December! How’s the holiday shopping going so far? It seems the shopping time is even shorter than ever with Thanksgiving being so late this year. Oh boy! And the calendar is busy with so many events happening in December, it’s difficult to choose. This Saturday is the 24th annual Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade here in Lawrence, Kansas, featuring horse drawn buggies. We also hope you have some fun holiday plans this weekend and try not to stress about that shopping list.
But the federal contracting world was busy as well and has not quite settled down for its slumber. This week in federal government contracting news saw new WOSB rules, claim appeal stats from the CBCA annual report, and updates from the new administration.
