SmallGovCon Week in Review: July 14-18, 2025
By Koprince Law LLC · Jul 18, 2025
Happy Friday! We’ve finally received some much-needed rain this week in the Midwest, after a very warm couple of weeks. It seems there has been quite a lot of rain around the country, as well. We hope you are staying cool, dry, and safe out there.
It’s also been another busy week in the federal government contracting arena. We have included some articles below that we thought were particularly newsworthy, including small business scorecards and increased use of AI in the federal government. Have a wonderful weekend!
