Happy Friday, Readers! The second week of May brought with it some rainy weather in the midwest. It’s difficult to stay ahead of getting the grass mowed when the grass is growing so quickly. Everything looks very lush and green here and the spring flowers are very colorful, as well. Only a few more weeks until school is out! Parents, are you ready?

We’ve included some interesting articles, from federal government contracting news this week, for you to read as you sit back and relax this weekend. There was multiple stories about efforts to increase a diverse small business supplier base, as well as news on some large multiple award contracts. Enjoy!

Happy Friday and happy May! I don’t know about you, but it sure seems like the pace picks up in the spring, as the weather gets warmer. The kids are getting ready for the summer break, there are graduations and weddings to attend and of course, it’s time to start mowing the lawn and preparing the gardens, too. We hope amid all the activities you have a chance to relax this weekend and, in the meantime, here are a few articles from the federal government contracting world, including updates on some prominent GSA acquisitions and the formal end of vaccine requirements for contractors. Have a great weekend!
