It’s been a great (and busy) week for me and my colleagues at Koprince Law as we settle into our new roles. Along with our new roles, keeping our SmallGovCon readers apprised of the latest and greatest in government contracting remains one of our passions. As you move into a (hopefully relaxing) Labor Day weekend, let the sweet sounds of these government contracting updates be your guide.

This week, we’ve had updates on some big DOD contracts, Section 889 updates, and GSA evaluating price on some contracts at order–rather than IDIQ–level.

Hope the end of the summer is going as well as it can for all of our readers. While the normal routines of fall, such as heading back to school, may have been temporarily interrupted, it’s still an exciting time as we head into my favorite season.

This week there were a number of government contracting stories that are worth following. These included using AI to aid in federal procurements, a temporary waiver for Chinese tech ban, and a DOD policy to pay back contractors faster for work stopped by COVID.

This week, the home-grown tomatoes are coming out in full force. It’s one of my favorite foods of the year. Hope you are also enjoying some late summer bounty.

There were other federal contracting updates just this week, such as the ban on certain Chinese products going into effect (which we discussed here), as well as some uncertainty for federal contractors due to recent executive branch announcements.

Happy Friday to all our SmallGovCon readers and hope you have a great weekend!

This week saw some interesting federal contracting developments, such as projections for this year’s federal spending to be the highest ever, changes to the CMMC Advisory Board, and an executive order that may affect how contractors employ foreign workers.
