SmallGovCon Week in Review: July 24-28, 2023
By Koprince Law LLC · Jul 28, 2023
Happy Friday! It’s time for another edition of WIR. I’d like to start off by thanking the El Paso Community College’s Contract Opportunities Center APEX Accelerator and the always-lively Pablo Armendariz for hosting me and allowing me to speak at the Procurement and Contracting Symposium, in El Paso, Texas, earlier this week. It was a wonderful event for discussions around federal government contracting. I met some new folks and got to talk to many people with great excitement for the federal contracting world.
We hope you find the following articles informative and have a great weekend. Among the stories this week are a very large false claim settlement, and news about FAR and legislative updates.
