Happy Friday blog readers! Hope you are having a nice week. Kick back and relax with the latest federal contracting updates.

Additional stories include an article I’m quoted in from Bloomberg Law discussing U.S. agencies requests for brand name items in contract proposals. Read on for the details and have a great weekend!
