In our September issue, Ralph wrote about the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals' decision in the matter of Red Bobtail Transportation, ASBCA 63771, 24-1 BCA ¶ 38,591, 2024 WL 2873960. See Performance Incentives: Follow the Rules, 38 NCRNL ¶ 50. That case involved a firm-fixed-price “performance-based” contract for transportation services in Afghanistan that was awarded in 2014 by the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM).

In the July issue, we told of a U.S. Army procurement of grounds maintenance services in which the agency conducted a simplified acquisition for commercial services, set aside for small businesses, to mow less than two acres of grass 18 times a year for one year with four one-year extension options. The work will include edging, trimming, pruning, and general cleanup at a small Army facility in suburban Virginia. We told how in order to do that the Army issued a 90-page Request for Quotations containing 105 Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense FAR Supplement solicitation provisions and contract clauses and incorporating a 525-page Army grounds maintenance regulation as the standard of quality. See Simplification, Reform, Streamlining, and Innovation: The Government Is Immune to Those Things, 38 NCRNL ¶ 44. Please read: Postscript: Simplification, Reform, Streamlining by Vernon J. Edwards

This article appeared in the September 2024 issue of Contract Management magazine, published by the National Contract Management Association. Used with permission. Much is being said these days about the importance of lifelong (continuous) learning in the contracting profession. That’s a good thing, but what does it mean, and how should one go about it?

A Primer on U.S. Defense Procurement, 2 Upphandlingsrätt Tidskrift 87 (2024) Daniel Schoeni, Space Systems Command; George Washington University - Law School, June 28, 2024 U.S. defense procurement is fiendishly complex; this article demystifies the system. It provides an introduction for nontraditional suppliers who may be reluctant to participate. To this end, it outlines the mechanics, details the legal framework, and assesses the system’s viability. The penultimate section advocates greater transatlantic participation, discusses barriers, and suggests how foreign suppliers can engage more effectively. If more robust competition is achieved, the potential payoff is immense for taxpayers, contractors, and not least the warfighter.

So, you think that Other Trasactions are exempt from bid protest jurisdiction at the Court of Federal Claims? Not so fast. I posted this protest opinion on the Home Page on Friday. If you handle Other Trasactions, you may want to take a look at the Opinion at Independent Rough Terrain Center, LLC v. U. S. and Taylor Defense Products, LLC, No. 24-160, July 16, 2024.
