Top planners in the Pentagon and in the armed services have talked for years about the need to obtain innovation from small business. But according to my next guest, would-be companies new to the Defense market say that have trouble getting an audience, much less a contract.

Recently it surveyed agencies to see how they're doing. Data Foundation president Nick Hart joined the Federal Drive to discuss the findings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

President Barack Obama wouldn’t give his up. President George W. Bush wasn’t allowed to have one, even though he wanted to. For about 15 years, the BlackBerry phone was seemingly velcroed to every federal executive hand from the Oval Office on down. But when Research in Motion, which owns BlackBerry, ended its support for the aging but still loved mobile device, it ended an era in the federal government. In his weekly Reporter's Notebook, executive editor Jason Miller collected memories from

2022/01/13

The government’s been running under a continuing resolution for three and a half months now. At the moment, there aren’t any clear signs of a spending agreement that would head off a full-year CR. Pentagon leaders say that would be extremely bad news for the military. Rather than just keeping 2022 spending levels the same as last year, they say a CR would actually reduce DoD’s spending power by more than $20 billion this year.
