In Episode 25 of The Essential GovCon Brief, Patrick Burns and Quyen Dang discuss four significant developments affecting federal contractors.
This month’s episode covers the Department of War’s suspension of Phase II of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and its newly launched review of the CMMC framework; a $7.75 million False Claims Act settlement highlighting the risks associated with organizational conflicts of interest; Executive Order 14415 and its potential new supply-chain mapping, sourcing, and risk-management requirements for defense contractors; and the increase in the TINA threshold for certified cost or pricing data from $2.5 million to $10 million for certain defense procurements.
Tune in for a discussion of these developments and the practical considerations contractors should keep in mind as the federal procurement landscape continues to evolve.
