Happy April! We are having our typical Midwest spring weather here, where one day it is warm and sunny and the next day it is cold and rainy. We have to keep every type of jacket at the ready because one never knows what to expect. We hope you have had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

This week in federal government contracting included stories dealing with the remaking of the federal workforce, increased workload for federal judges, and a more prominent role for GSA.

Hello! It’s Friday and time for another week in review. This time of year brings both the ripping up of March Madness brackets and the opening day of baseball–hope springs eternal! And for non-sports ball folks, we hope that spring is bringing all of our readers both renewed energy and productivity.

This week saw a number of interesting stories, including proposed consolidating of procurement with GSA and changes to GSA schedules, along with updates on termination of some contracts.

Happy Spring! It’s been a long, cold winter here in the Midwest. But we are starting to see many signs of spring this week. I just got back from a spring break trip to Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan, Alabama and this picture was taken on the beach there. It was a great time to recharge the batteries so I could get back to staying up to date on federal contracting news.

This week in federal government contracting news saw stories including consolidating a number of multiple award contracts under GSA and cutting spending at both DoD and SBA.

Happy Friday. Hope everyone had a great week. We wanted to share an announcement this week that WIFCON.com is back. Posted from the website: “Wifcon.com was created by Robert (Bob) Antonio 26 years ago. Operated and maintained solely by him and at his own expense, the website has provided a free, reliable, and invaluable source of information and means of communication and commentary to the acquisition community, both public and private for 26 years. Sadly, Bob died on November 24, 2024, after a brief illness, leaving no operational successor.” Now, “a small group of volunteers, has purchased the site from his heirs and will continue to provide the same free service under the same name, Wifcon.com.”

We truly appreciated Bob’s commitment to the GovCon community. He created a great resource for us here at SmallGovCon and provided very helpful information that we used weekly in our Week in Review blogs. Thank you, Bob, for your dedicated service, and for the new operators of this very helpful site. Please visit the website at WIFCON.com.

And now this week in federal government contracting news, check out stories about new changes to contracting at various agencies including possibly having GSA do more of the contracting for other agencies, as well as changes to DoD workforce and regulations.

Hello, blog readers and happy Friday. Can you believe it’s already March? In just a few short weeks, spring will (finally) be here! Hooray! With all the snow we had, we are definitely looking forward to warmer temperatures and to getting outside more.

We hope that you’re gearing up for a nice weekend. But before you do, let’s take a look at the-week that was. In this edition of the Week in Review, articles discussed the continued reshuffling and closing of government agencies and offices and the importance of GSA.

Happy Friday! Tomorrow is the first day of March and you know what that means if you are a college basketball fan. March Madness! Start thinking about your bracket strategy and let the games begin! Have a great weekend.
