This past week, the whole Kansas City region (including our office) as well as much of the nation, celebrated the Chiefs victory in the Super Bowl. It was a long time coming for the Chiefs, but a well-deserved win.

While perhaps not as exciting as the Super Bowl, this week also saw some intriguing federal contracting stories. Among them, new details on DOD cybersecurity initiatives, continuing GSA schedule consolidation, and the Army and Navy work on a modern contract writing system.

There is one thing (other than legal issues) on the mind of many of us at Koprince Law this week–the Super Bowl! The Chiefs return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1970. Hope it’s a good game and those supporting KC will have the right to party!

But I’ve got at least one part of my mind on federal contracting updates, including multiple items about the new CMMC cybersecurity rules, the aftermath of the most recent government shutdown, a group of sham companies sold the US Navy $2.7 million worth of nothing and as always, contractors behaving badly.

You’ve got to love Kansas weather. Last week it was 65 degrees and sunny, and now we’re due for an ice storm. There’s always something new if you don’t like the current weather.

It’s kind of the same way with government contracting. There’s always something new. This week, there are updates about the government getting over $3 billion from False Claims Act Case, updates about the timing for CMMC cybersecurity certifications, and the goals of the new SBA administrator.
