2022/02/16

If an agency buys software through a reseller on a General Services Administration schedule contract, does the software vendor have a claim if the agency cancels the license? After all, it wasn't the prime contractor. That's the gist of a case just tossed by the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. Smith Pachter McWhorter procurement attorney Joe Petrillo brought the lessons learned in this case to the Federal Drive with Tom Temin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2022/02/16

The IRS has canceled its use of facial recognition technology for taxpayers to log on. That's having a ripple effect on ID verification at other agencies. The IRS' one-time vendor, ID.me, said it will make facial recognition optional for the nine other agencies it does business with. But agencies still have to counter fraud.

2022/02/16

Agencies across the board have an enduring need for scientific and technical talent, the type of people that can be hard to find. Yet many agencies fail to use the personnel mobility program, a system that lets scientific and technical employees from nonprofits work temporarily at a federal agency. For some recommendations, the Federal Drive with Tom Temin turned to the acting director for Strategic Issues at the Government Accountability Office Alyssa Czyz. Learn more about your ad choices.

2022/02/15

Congress bought itself a short month to get together on final appropriations for 2022. Even if they do agree at there's a deal on March 11, that means 2022 money will arrive nearly halfway through the fiscal year, and even then accounts won't be ready on the 11th. For contractor and procurement implications, we turn to federal sales and marketing consultant Larry Allen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How the Pentagon got gouged on spare parts prices

The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton ·

2022/02/15

They say an army travels on its stomach. It also travels on spare parts. And in that regard, the Defense Department has a problem. The inspector general has found that one spare parts supplier, a company called TransDigm, received payments that resulted in nearly $21 million in excess profits.

2022/02/15

As one of its strategies for getting the most possible participation, the Census Bureau spends big on outreach. For the 2020 decennial count, the Integrated Communications Campaign cost the bureau $675 million, twice what it spent in 2010.

One of the great open secrets of the cybersecurity domain is how much mischief is done by Russia and its government-sponsored hackers. Countering Russian cyber activity takes a lot of effort on the part of the U.S. government and U.S. companies. My next guest has studied Russia's cyberwar activities in detail and says the more you know about Russia's motivations, the better you can counteract it.

2022/02/14

The government's information technology security approval process is critical, but slow. As one way to speed it up, several Defense Department organizations have dabbled with the concept of continuous authorities to operate, or ATOs. That would base a system’s approval on continuous monitoring, rather than a one-time intensive checklist. Now, the Defense Department wants to raise the bar for continuous ATOs, and make them the standard for cybersecurity across DoD. As Federal News Network’s Jared

It's become nearly cliché in Defense circles, that the near military peers of the United States are more than near. We're all neck-in-neck. Discussions of getting back to U.S. superiority all include the need for a more digital approach, a digital transformation. At the center of that discussion you find the Defense Department's vision for a new network known as Joint All-Domain Command and Control, known as JADC2. My next guest has some ideas for JADC2.
