Of course, resolution with the agency is not always possible, which is all the more reason contractors must posture themselves for success in case they need to take the dispute to a Board of Contract Appeals or to the Court of Federal Claims (COFC). The importance of clarity in this...

The final rule, which took effect on September 30, 2016, establishes an outright prohibition against contracts where either of these circumstances exist, unless the agency awarding the contract has considered suspension or debarment of the entity and determined that neither is necessary to protect the government’s interests. The final rule made no changes to the Council’s December 4, 2015 interim rule as a result...

The new Rule takes effect on November 3. DoD contractors and others covered by the Rule must report incidents resulting in an “actual or potentially adverse effect” on a covered information system operated by the contractor, or a covered defense information within...

Jackson Kelly has previously written about the new rule, and many federal contractors are struggling to understand which provisions apply to them and when they will take effect. The reporting requirements mandated by the rule are set to phase in over a two year period and will ultimately require both federal contractors and subcontractors to report “violations” of fourteen enumerated Department of Labor (DoL) regulations. Additionally, the Rule imposes specific requirements on contractors regarding the contents of employees’ pay statements,...

The Department of Labor (DOL) has also published the final version of its implementing guidance for the rule. Jackson Kelly initially wrote about the EO’s implementation last year when the DOL published its proposed guidance. The EO has been referred to by some as establishing a “Blacklist” because contractors reporting violations or negative information related to any of 14 specified statutes can be found ineligible for contract awards exceeding $500,000.00. While the DOL guidance is...
  • http://govtcontractsmonitor.jacksonkelly.com/2016/10/short-take-gsa-releases-audit-report-of-its-purchase-card-program.html Government Contracts Monitor: Short Take: GSA Releases Audit Report of its Purchase Card Program - The General Services Administration (GSA) performed a routine annual audit of its Government Purchase Card (GPC) program, analyzing transactions from Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15). Under the GPC program, cardholders procured $27.5 million worth of goods and services for GSA in FY15, down nearly 8 percent from the previous year’s use. Overall card use has decreased every year since 2011, when GSA card purchases totaled $69.3 million. The audit identified several vulnerabilities in the program. GSA purchase cards have a per-transaction limit of $3000.00, so they are often issued to lower level employees who do not necessarily have adequate oversight and...

  • lildimplechick - SUPER COMFORTABLE!

    This bra is extremely comfortable--no wire, no tags, and thinly padded. It's comfortable enough to wear to sleep and I swear when I'm wearing this bra, it's like I'm wearing no bra at all because it's that comfortable! It's also pretty cute with lace on the bottom. I highly recommend!!!

  • Christine - Bright and Well Designed

    This light clips onto the top of my phone securely. The spring mechanism feels pretty strong and it's designed in such a way that the unit doesn't scratch my phone--front or back. I sometimes use a charging case with my phone which adds considerable thickness to my phone and this light works well with that case too--which I love. The unit has a series of LED white lights around the outer edge. It has 3 brightness settings so that depending on where you are, you can get just the right lighting. The light runs on 2 AAA batteries. Since it's not something that you're likely to have on for hours at a time, the batteries should last quite a while but if you're planning on using it away from home, you should probably carry an extra set of batteries just in case (thankfully AAA batteries are small and won't add a lot of weight to my purse). Overall, it's a good light and I'm pleased with the quality of light that it produces. I was able to purchase this light at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own and are based on my experiences and impressions of the product.

    Not worth the price IMO. It's a good umbrella stroller but still too flimsy wheels to warrant the price tag
