Good morning,
Spring-a great time of year to shed old, non-productive and even counter-productive behaviors and build new habits that will not only ease your economic slide, but perhaps reverse it and move ahead towards profitability with new vigor and determination. When I see all of the opportunities opening up, those from the economic stimulus package, TARP, BRAC and normal, every day government needs, I see rich opportunities, the likes of which we have never experienced before.
Are you positioned to jump in and ride the wave, or are you still on the sidelines, waiting for, waiting for, well, waiting for what? This is your tax money at work-why should you not participate in the work that needs to be done? The federal government purchases virtually every imaginable service and product. Stimulate your economy by becoming a successful government contractor. Sure, we can help. And you can also take advantage of all sorts of no cost advice and services through the SBA and PTAP. Call us, call them, just get started NOW, because someone is going to get the business.
Why not you?

Presidential Federal Contracting Overhaul
Last week President Obama called for a federal contracting overhaul. The President released a Memorandum to the Heads of Executive Agencies (that means all federal agencies) giving the following directives on contracting. He specified the following guidelines:
- Federal agencies should not rely on sole-source contracts and cost-reimbursement contracts create a risk of wasteful spending by the government.
- He raised concerns over the Circular A-76 initiative put in place by the Bush Administration that encouraged outsourcing of work performed by federal employees saying that inherently governmental functions should not be outsourced.
- He stated a preference for fixed-price contracts and directed that cost-reimbursement contracts shall only be used in circumstances when an agency cannot define its requirements sufficiently.
