Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has reached an agreement in principle on a sole source contract award for multiple Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-Vs). These will be delivered to a department of the U.S. Government. The final contract award will be a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order on a noncompetitive basis. Revenue will be recognized ratably over the course of the contract, with an expected near-term delivery date. Stratmann emphasized that this award builds on the recent commercial success of OPT's vehicles and PowerBuoys. These technologies are used for autonomous Maritime Domain Awareness, Counter Unmanned Underwater Vehicles, and Mine Countermeasure Solutions in North America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. The company believes this agreement further demonstrates that its systems are an integral part of building out the future of ocean security. This significant contract highlights OPT's growing role in enhancing maritime security and reflects the trust and confidence placed in their advanced maritime technologies by government entities. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann, #USGovernmentContract, #OffshoreAutonomy, #MaritimeSecurity, #CommercialPlatforms, #GrowthStrategy, #BuoyBusiness, #VehicleBusiness, #InternationalExpansion, #ReadyToDeploy, #AutonomousSystems, #EconomicImpact, #ShippingLanes, #FreedomOfNavigation, #CostEffectiveSolutions, #LowEmissionTech, #SecurityInnovation, #GlobalShipping, #ProactiveNewsroom#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

The majority of federal agencies say they support women owned businesses ... but they don't actually use the set-aside and sole-source tools designed for that reason!Year after year, we can see that the #wosb businesses who are landing government contracts did so in full and open competition, not because the government was committed to the official federal goals.The exception is the Army.

A Sole Source contract award is when the government awards a contract without competition. The standard procedure in GovCon is to use competition to compete requirements, therefore awarding a sole source contract is a “non-standard” procedure.   There are a variety of factors that impact the decision to use a sole source strategy to acquire goods and services. To effectively use this sole source authority, it's critical for both government and industry to understand when a sole source contract would/should/could be the best option to meet the government's mission.Since this is a “non-standard” procedure, the government team has to justify why awarding a contract without competition makes sense in a specific acquisition. In this episode, we outline the basic regulations around how that justification is made. We also describe how and why the government team, and the contracting officer in particular, can determine a “reasonable basis” for a sole source award.*The first 400 episodes are still free*Episodes 401 and beyond are inside Skyway Central©.Click here to access your Podcast 2.0 license for $20/mo and start listening today!Need to justify this to your boss?Click here to view Skyway's Contracting Officer Podcast 2.0 License Overview

This pull between outward-facing and inward-facing demands is just one reason the job can be challenging. https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/scrum/roles/product-owner?__s=rwvhpj3hb8jfkece4j94&utm_source=drip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The+Product+Owner+Does+Not+Need+to+Be+The+Sole+Source+of+Knowledge

Donald Campbell made the bold prediction that all expansions of knowledge will be found to require the Universal Darwinism algorithm of variation and selection. In this episode, we're going to test that prediction and see if it holds up against what we currently know about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. For example, does (apparent) knowledge created by Gradient Descent require variation and selection? Or is it really and truly inductive? Or does it just fail to create knowledge at all despite clearly creating improvements? Ultimately, we'll find that Machine Learning creates an exciting set of epistemological problems that need to be solved!

We talk about it all the time on this show - how can you get to the life in which all you have to do is farm or ranch?  What if you already had an enterprise that would allow you to quit that job in town and farm or ranch full-time, but you just didn't know it? On today's show, we will speak with Dallas Mount.  Dallas has a history of advising and teaching folks in agriculture, and now he is the owner of Ranch Management Consultants and their key course, Ranching For Profit, in Wheatland, Wyoming.  Dallas will be talking with us about how he and his people help to identify areas within people's ranching and farming enterprises that are going underutilized or are acting as a drag on their profits.  He will talk about strategies for improving an operation, increasing productivity, and enhancing profits.  He will also talk about the challenges to implementing those strategies when there are other stakeholders involved in the operation. Dallas accurately points out that formal, agricultural education really emphasizes production when it comes to teaching ag students.  Therefore, there are a lot of ranchers out there with a large amount of knowledge and skill when it comes to production, but who still need to learn how to look at their enterprise from the perspective of a business person.

“Women make financial decisions for the benefit of others at the expense of ourselves.” Oof… That hits hard. While we’ve made great strides, many women still have internalized feelings about needing to care for others first. Now, that alone isn’t a bad thing. But an important piece that cannot be neglected is having awareness of how caring for others is affecting your own finances. It is risky to leave yourself in the dark and have someone else control your finances. Divorce happens. Death happens. And having an awareness of how much money you have in various assets, how much money you’re bringing in, and how much money you’re spending is not easily outsourceable like hiring someone to mow your lawn or paint your house.Tanya Nichols, CFP® is the Founder and President of Align Financial, and she is helping people, especially women, create a healthy relationship with their finances and take ownership of their financial future. Connect with the Sole Source team Website I Facebook I Twitter I Instagram

You know that phrase, don't judge a book by its cover? That is exactly what we're talking about in this episode of Sole Source. Life is messy and a tornado of feelings can come out of the trauma we experience. Without being able to regulate those feelings, they can creep into our behavior that touches all aspects of our lives. It can be confusing to us and to those around us who may not know that our behavior has its roots somewhere else – our trauma. Jennifer Bartolotta, the owner of Bartolotta & Associates based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is teaching people about Trauma-Informed Care.

Caring for a loved one with a critical or terminal illness often becomes the number one priority in a caregiver’s life. But what we end up seeing is those caregivers pushing aside their own physical and mental needs to focus entirely on providing that care. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says self-care is just as important, and we can all take steps to make sure caregivers feel supported and are not ignoring themselves by asking a simple question: How are you feeling right now?
