SmallGovCon Week in Review: Nov. 3-7, 2025
By Koprince Law LLC · Nov 7, 2025
I recently attended the NAPEX Fall conference in DC this past week. I was able to speak on the topic of The FAR Overhaul and Legal Updates for 2025. It was a great presentation with some insightful questions. Thanks to all the wonderful Apex Accelerator folks for saying hi to me.
It’s Friday and time for another week in review. This week was full of updates about the effects of the government shutdown. In other news, OPM is pushing to boost tech expertise and the DoD is looking to streamline acquisitions and hear from small businesses ahead of new cybersecurity standards (CMMC). You can read more about these stories and other federal government contracting developments in the articles below.
