"how far out of scope?" "different naics code out." in-scope mods are exempt from the competition rules. out-of-scope work is a new buy, whatever you call it (FAR 6.001(c)). #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition
"market research is complete." sources consulted: google, the vendor. small business capability: did not come up. recommendation: sole source. FAR part 10 has opinions about this. #GovCon #FederalContracting #SmallBusiness
debriefing season. the protest clock is actually five clocks: solicitation improprieties, the 10-day rule, the cica stay, dod's enhanced debriefing, and gao's 100 days. not legal advice. #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition
government closed. inbox open. happy federal holiday to the 1102s reading this from their phone. #GovCon #FederalContracting #FederalEmployees
new fiscal year, same calendar. the 15-minute fy27 acquisition strategy sync ran until 4:47. decisions: crossed out. #GovCon #FederalContracting #FederalEmployees
pop quiz: the micro-purchase threshold moved from $10,000 to $15,000 on october 1, 2025 (FAR 2.101). if your desk guide still says ten grand, it's a year out of date. #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition

acquisition dictionary no. 2: "bridge contract." definition 3 is the one your program office means. #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition
fy27 is here, funded by a continuing resolution through december 11. no new starts. please forward to anyone planning a new start. #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition
these five thresholds turned one year old today and half the desk guides still say the old numbers: micro-purchase $15k, sat $350k, commercial simplified $9m, tina $2.5m, subcontracting plan $900k (90 FR 41872). #GovCon #FederalContracting
11:52pm on september 30. 247 unread. the contract writing system goes down for maintenance at 11. happy fiscal year-end to everyone who celebrates, which is all of us, involuntarily. #GovCon #FederalContracting #FederalEmployees
pov: it's september 30 and you're the contracting officer. 8am: "just a few small awards left today." 10:30am: 14 new purchase requests arrive. 11:59pm: "great teamwork everyone!" from the person who left at 4:30. #GovCon #FederalContracting #FederalEmployees
acquisition dictionary no. 1: "simple buy." definition 3 applies september 1 through 30 only. #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition
program office, 8:46pm on a sunday: "quick thing for tomorrow, shouldn't take long." the sunday scaries have a naics code. #GovCon #FederalContracting #FederalEmployees
the good news is the sow is basically done. the bad news is the funding isn't certified until the 30th and the program office is out until october 13. #GovCon #FederalContracting #Acquisition
"do you have five minutes for a quick call?" minute 87. agenda items: 0. new requirements: 4. decisions: 0. follow-up call: scheduled. #GovCon
fy27 leaves the lot oct 1 on a donut spare. rated through dec 11, no new starts, last year's rates. please don't take it on the highway. #GovCon
