A newly-proposed USDA contracting regulation would require every contractor on every bid to certify their compliance with every statute, list every violation they have ever had  and define what was done to mitigate the violations.

He has a post on our site right now headlined “USDA's New Proposed Labor Regs for Contractors Go Way Too Far.” He joined the podcast to discuss his piece and the proposed USDA rules. *** Join GovExec Daily on Clubhouse! https://www.clubhouse.com/club/govexec-daily-group?utm_medium=ch_club&utm_campaign=vlrzJwsaX-VcmRCrWGPctA-103059

Government is not known for its stellar or responsive customer service, but the White House is hoping to change that. Last month, the Biden administration issued an executive order designed to improve the customer experience with government agencies. The order looks to tackle the administrative costs that citizens have to deal with when interfacing with government agencies, making for easier interactions. Stan Soloway is president and CEO of Celero Strategies, LLC and a GovExec contributor. He formerly served as deputy undersecretary of Defense for acquisition reform and director of the Defense Reform Initiative during Bill Clinton's administration. He has a post on our site right now headlined “Making the Customer Service Executive Order Really Work.”  He joined the show now to discuss the Biden administration's CX priorities.

In this episode of Acquisition Talk, we listen in on a recent event on Other Transactions Authority hosted by George Mason University's Center for Government Contracting. Many thanks to my colleague Stephanie Halcrow for moderating a panel that included Stan Soloway, who recently authored a report on the progress of OTs, Wes Bennett, Director of the Contracts Management Office at DARPA, and Dan Fick, Vice President of SAP. In case you've been asleep at the acquisition wheel the past few years, Other Transactions (OTs) allow select government agencies to flexibly contract without all the rules found in the Federal Acquisition Regulation that can make it impossible to reach startups and nontraditional contractors. Actually, as panelist Stan Soloway noted, OTs are not technically "contracts" because the term has a specific meaning in the FAR. They use the term "agreements" and are signed by "agreements officers." But, in the general commercial sense, OTs are binding contractual documents. Although OTs were invented around 1958 for NASA, they were expanded for use in DoD in 1989 with 10 USC 2371. It seemed by the time Future Combat Systems used OTs and was terminated in 2009, the authority reached its nadir. With the FY 2016 NDAA, OTs were refreshed, adding the ability to transition a competitive prototype OT into production (up to $500 million). That signaled Congressional intent for increased adoption.

On today's episode of The Daily Scoop Podcast, DISA has a new chief of staff, the Biden Administration's choice to take the Pentagon's top acquisition job is an experienced hand, and the new telework policy at USDA will let eligible employees work out of the office up to eight days every pay period. The Defense Information Systems Agency has a new chief of staff. Jackson Barnett is writing about Teresa Pitts for Fedscoop.com. The Biden Administration's choice to take the Pentagon's top acquisition job is an experienced hand. Bill LaPlante will take the Undersecretary for Acquisition and Sustainment job if the Senate confirms him. President and CEO of Celero Strategies, Stan Soloway lists several reasons why LaPlante is a good fit for the job, and how he might collaborate with other leaders across the department. The new telework policy at the Agriculture Department will let eligible employees work out of the office up to eight days every pay period. The Assistant Secretary for Administration at USDA, Oscar Gonzales, says details for employees will be “based on the duties of the position.” Former CIO at the Commerce Department, Simon Szykman explains why agencies are already in good shape for a more permanent telework posture.

Like discovering a long buried pair of jeans that becomes your new favorite, other transaction agreements (OTAs) are a procurement methodology that falls outside of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and its Defense supplement. Use of OTAs has grown rapidly across the government in the last couple of years but it might be a mixed blessing. Now the IBM Center for the Business of Government has sponsored a detailed analysis of OTAs and how the government is using them. For the highlights, co-author and Hacking for Defense adviser Stan Soloway spoke to Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Earlier this year, President Joe Biden issued an executive order requiring that the minimum wage paid by government contractors be at least $15 per hour. The order will not affect the overwhelming majority of contract workers, its implementation will not be as easy as the White House and its supporters hope.

He formerly served as deputy undersecretary of Defense for acquisition reform and director of the Defense Reform Initiative during Bill Clinton's administration. He has a post on our site right now headlined  “Raising the Contractor Minimum Wage: It's Not as Simple as it Looks.” He joined the show to discuss his piece and the complications around Biden's executive order.

Recently, the Office of Management and Budget issued a request for information seeking potential DEI solutions to improve a range of government activities, including service to public assistance beneficiaries and federal procurement.

The year-plus of the coronavirus pandemic isolation period has forced government to heed the call of modernization with speed unseen before it. The necessity of telework made the federal government switch to a more agile tech and workforce situation, including IT contracting and operations. The Biden administration came into office against that backdrop and, according to our guest today, has brought in a series of appointees who speak to a brighter, more professional future for government's digital transformation. Stan Soloway is president and CEO of Celero Strategies, LLC and a GovExec contributor. He formerly served as deputy undersecretary of Defense for acquisition reform and director of the Defense Reform Initiative during Bill Clinton’s administration.

He joined the show to discuss his piece and the future of government digital ops and acquisitions.

In September, President Donald Trump signed an executive order essentially forbidding any diversity and inclusion training sessions at federal agencies and contractors that could be considered “divisive.” Soon thereafter, OMB chief Russ Vought sent a memo to agencies clarifying that swift action should be taken against any trainings that include topics like white privilege and critical race theory, bedrocks of modern inclusion training. ought even set up an email address for people to report any “sightings” of such trainings. Stan Soloway is president and CEO of Celero Strategies, LLC and a GovExec contributor. He formerly served as deputy undersecretary of Defense for acquisition reform and director of the Defense Reform Initiative during Bill Clinton’s administration. He has a post headlined “Viewpoint: When an Executive Order Is Racist” on the training order. He joined the show to discuss his piece and the way the administration is rolling out the EO.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is not usually something that comes up a lot in executive orders, but, earlier this month, the TVA made news.  President Donald Trump shook up TVA leadership, partially because of the leadership outsourcing jobs.  Stan Soloway is president and CEO of Celero Strategies, LLC and a GovExec contributor. He formerly served as deputy undersecretary of Defense for acquisition reform and director of the Defense Reform Initiative during Bill Clinton’s administration.
