SmallGovCon Week in Review: March 7-11, 2022

Posted on by

If March is supposed to come in like a lion and leave like a lamb, we are certainly still in the lion stage this week, with another winter snow storm that arrived here yesterday. No worries, however, because next week the lamb arrives with 70 degree weather and we are ready for it. Hopefully, this will be winter’s last gasp as warmer temperatures are sure to follow and we spring forward into daylight savings time.

There was a lot happening in federal government contracting news this week, such as the new Buy American Act final rule and updates on more cybersecurity requirements being considered for government agencies. We have included those and some additional articles that we hope you will find informative.

Have a great weekend!

Hello, Readers. As we move into spring, we at SmallGovCon have been observing the optimism of nature as winter releases its grip. Small green plant shoots are pushing their way up towards the sunshine and the trees are preparing to bud as our temperatures warm up. The birds are getting involved as well. There’s no doubt that they are enjoying the warmer weather and looking forward to spring, too. Hope you are able to observe equally inspiring things in your neck of the woods.

As usual there was a lot of news in federal government contracting, this week including articles on the future of federal government contracting, cybersecurity bills, and news on GSA multiple award contracts. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday, Readers! We hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and a very productive week. Another winter storm blew in on Thursday and we received 7 inches of snow. But do you know what we say in Kansas? “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute. ” By Monday we will reach a temperature of almost 70 degrees! The weather in Kansas can change on a dime.

We put together some informative articles on federal government contracting news. Enjoy and stay warm or cool or anywhere in between in your part of the world. We’ll be doing the same here. I just wonder if I’ll need a heavy coat or a light jacket? Best to be prepared and keep both handy. Have a great weekend.
