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...

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...

  • Rachael R. Robertson - Love this bag.

    It fits inside my backpack and my messenger bag, depending on what I want to carry. I have carried it by itself when I didn't need a real bag so the handle is convenient. Haven't had any trouble with it yet and I can fit my camera body, 2 lenses, speedlite, batteries, and some extra memory cards in here easily.

  • Amazon Customer - I have enjoyed my use of this entire set

    I have enjoyed my use of this entire set. I was also able to add a T-fal stock pot of the same color so I am very please with the set. I have had zero issues thus far and the pots and pans are all easy to clean.

  • Caihop - Made My Acne 10X Worse Than Ever

    I was incredibly optimistic when I started using this, thinking I had finally found a healthy, organic and most importantly an effective way of reducing acne. I was very mistaken. I used this product in combination with the facial cleanser and the moisturizer and it made my face break out 10X worse than it had ever done in the past. I re-read all of the instructions and followed them to a T, but after about three months, the acne has only gotten much worse and did not get better until 6 months after I stopped using this product. A huge disappointment and a waste of a lot of money.

  • SouthernPharmer - Good way to keep your data and drop your subscription.

    I got about as far as I could go on Ancestry . com without buying the international subscription so I didn't want to keep paying the subscription. I received three free months for buying the software and it was really easy to move everything over. You do still keep online access to your stuff after you cancel, but who knows how long that will last. Not a bad way to spend $40 in my opinion.
