Welcome to a live GovCon Intelligence video. We’re going to be going over a filing at the Supreme Court about the 8(a) program, as well as a filing in state or district court in Louisiana about the 8(a) program’s race-based presumption. There’s also been a bill introduced in the Senate about suspending 8(a) sole source awards. During the SBA audit, Secretary Hegseth of the Department of War gave a speech about acquisition transformation, and GAO has reopened. So there have been a couple of cases about small businesses at the VA and involving NAICS codes coming out of the GAO. Also, go over a few questions that we’ve received through the app and by email through the GovCon Intelligence Newsletter.

As a reminder, you can always comment on this post or send me an email, or fill out the contact me form to send questions for the next edition of our Q&A.
