In acquiring sonar equipment, the Navy didn't go deep enough into the fine points of small business rules. In a small business set-aside, the question of whether an offeror could be a non-manufacturer showed just how complicated things can get. Haynes and Boone, LLP procurement attorney Zachary Prince joined the Federal Drive with Thomas Temin to provide details. #thefederaldrivewithtomtemin #Navy #SmallBusiness
The Navy made a big mistake in a small business procurement

The federal government stands as the nation’s largest entity in many ways. Among them, it’s the biggest buyer of goods and services. It spends some $700 billion a year through contracting. Kim Miller, the vice president of industry advisory at Icertis, knows all of this. She spent 26 years in government aerospace and defense contracting. She advocates approaching the modernizing of contracting from a cradle-to-grave viewpoint. Read or watch the full interview to learn more! | https://bit.ly/3ZhbO6f Sponsored by Icertis

The United States Department of Defense faces a continuing challenge recruiting and retaining servicemembers across the U.S. military services. Since 1980, the total number of active-duty military personnel has fallen by 37%, according to USAFacts data. “It’s historic. The all-volunteer force has been working great for a very long time, but it’s with a shrinking pool of eligible candidates in the highly competitive talent market out there,” said Pamela Powers, executive managing director for the Defense market at Maximus.

Official time means federal employees can spend work time on union business such as filing grievances. A Senate bill would outlaw official time. One group in favor is the National Right to Work Committee. Mark Mix, the committee's president, joined the Federal Drive with Thomas Temin to discuss. #thefederaldrivewithtomtemin #officialtime #unions

Whether preventing fraud, boosting knowledge management, or refining large language model results, graph databases help agencies get more out of large datasets. John Bender, the regional vice president for U.S. federal at Neo4j, says data users must understand the difference between relational and graphing database technology. “A relational database uses tables and then it uses joins to bring the data together,” Bender said. “Whereas a graph looks at the data and the relationships as equal. So we can query off anything, any relationship or any node in the graph.” Read, watch or listen to the full show to learn more! | https://bit.ly/4cOyKgk Sponsored by Neo4j

A Federal Trade Commission rule against employee noncompete clauses was supposed to take effect this week, but a Texas federal court issued an injunction against it. The Supreme Court ruling that ended court deference to federal agency regulation throws more sand into the FTC's works. With what industry is watching, the Federal Drive with Thomas Temin turns to Stephanie Sanok Kostro, executive vice president for policy at the Professional Services Council. #thefederaldrivewithtomtemin #FTC
Another FTC rule is in trouble … at least industry hopes so

It's using such materials to build new barracks for the first multi-domain task force at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. Paul Farnan, the principal deputy assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, joined the Federal Drive with Thomas Temin to discuss more about this project. #thefederaldrivewithtomtemin #Army
