  1. This topic is subject to Rule 17. The OP needs to respond to others' questions by Friday or it will be locked.
  2. I had forgotten how dificult doing this analysis was/is. However, I finished it about an hour ago. It appears at Analysis of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2024 It now sits with the other NDAAs since 2002 (with the exception of FY 23) here: NDAAs from 2002 thru 2024.
  3. This procurement drew a crowd of protesters and a 108 page COFC opinion. Ekagra Partners, LLC, Unissant, Inc., AttainX, Inc., Logistics Systems, Inc., Arch Systems, LLC, Alpha Omega Integration, LLC, Garud Technology Services, Inc., Constellation, Inc., Chakrabarti Management Consultancy, Inc. v. U. S., and Novilo Technology Solutions, LLC., CAN Softtech, Inc., et al., Nos. 23-1610, 23-1667, 23-1668, 23-1675, 23-1676, 23-1721, 23-1792, 23-1814, 23-1844, March 7, 2024. (108 pages), (March 11, 2024)
  4. S. 3626: Conforming Procedures for Federal Task and Delivery Order Contracts Act of 2024 is intended to clarify task and delivery order solicitation and contract requirements. This Senate bill was recently introduced and probably won't be enacted as a stand-alone act. If it gets anywhere, it most likely will be stuffed into the next NDAA
  5. Possibly the most complete handbooks are from DoD. There are others. You may want to check NASA too. Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) Handbook for Services Acquisition: Originally posted: December 2017 Last updated: February 2018.
  6. In accordance with Rule 17, this topic will be locked unless the OP reappears.
  7. This topic is being closed due to no response from the OP, in accordance with . . . 17. Original posters must not disappear after they post a question. Disappearing makes it impossible to provide clarifications of the original post so that others may respond intelligently. It is normal for the original poster to be asked for clarification. The Orginal Poster has 5 calendar days after the original post to answer any questions. After that, the Topic will be locked.
  8. I will keep this topic open for a little time to see if the original poster comes back. If not, I will delete the topic.
  9. In two recent articles, Ralph Nash and Vern looked into whether the process of competitive negotiation (source selection) “works” to encourage firms to do business with the Government. See Our Competitive System: Does It Work?, 36 NCRNL ¶ 70, and Postscript II: Our Competitive System, 38 NCRNL¶ 3. They think the process is cumbersome, takes too long, and is too expensive. In Postscript II, they argued that the competitive system (rules and procedures) is badly designed and maladapted to present circumstances. In this article, they want to show, by way of example, that the system is worse when the bad design is poorly executed. See POSTSCRIPT III: OUR COMPETITIVE SYSTEM by Vernon J. Edwards.
  10. This bill was introduced on January 18, 2024. Unfortunately, the bill hasn't been posted yet. That is why you don't see it yet. It should be posted by the end of the week. Check here.
  11. Thanks Retread. Quite often all an agency needs is to be reminded.
  12. It is now more than half way through the month of January 2024 and the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) has not checked in, paid for itself, or something or other. This is not out of the ordinary for a U. S. government site. Many of the government sites that I use to post contracting information have not issued anything since December 2023 or earlier than that. Here is what I currently get when I try to access the ASBCA. If you find the ASBCA, please let me know by posting it here. Thankyou.
  13. I was late in approving this account. Could anyone help the original poster?
  14. Jamaal: I remember trying to find the first instance of that line being used in the FAR, FPR or ASPR. If I remember correctly, it was a cut and paste job from the predecessors of the FAR to the FAR.
  15. I'm running late and I haven't had a chance to read this protest. If you have time, give it a try. Superior Waste Management v U. S., No. 23-1319C, January 8, 2024.
