Congress should protect competition, save Section 876

Congress, Should, Protect, 'Save, competition, Section0 comment

When awarding government contracts, actual pricing will always beat hypothetical pricing. Yet most multiple award task and delivery order contracts are awarded based on hypothetical pricing. To change this, Section 876, Increasing Competition at the Task Order Level, was passed in 2018 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 2019. As the then administrator of the General Services Administration, I know the agency worked closely with Congress to pass Section 876. Unfortunately, a recent Court of Federal Claims decision severely limited the applicability of Section 876, making…

Republic, Doesn't, religion, decline, We'll, Bode0 comment

Over the last several decades, a growing number of Americans have abandoned their faith — usually Christianity — to join the ranks of the nonreligious. These “Nones” describe themselves as atheists, agnostics or “nothing in particular.” Some may shrug at this, but you don’t have to be religious to know that this shift doesn’t bode well for a nation founded on the principles of self-government. For most of the 20th century, 70% of Americans belonged to a house of worship. As recently as the early 1990s, nearly 90% of Americans…

Washington, D.C. – As reported by The Messenger today, MoveOn Political Action is sending a letter to all secretaries of state to urge election officials to investigate No Labels’ electoral activities as the dark-money group attempts to qualify to appear on the ballot in all 50 states. MoveOn’s calls for an investigation follows Maine’s Secretary of State Shenna Bellows sending a cease-and-desist letter to No Labels last month due to complaints about No Labels’ organizers misleading Maine voters into changing their party affiliation status. “Reports that No Labels is misleading…

What do people really mean when they say government should operate like a business?

When the nearly endless debates over the debt ceiling were raging on, the United States didn’t look very businesslike to the rest of the world. Internally, though, you never stop hearing that federal agencies should operate more like a business. This is both true and not true, according to my next guest. The  Federal Drive with Tom Temin got commentary from American University professor Bob Tobias. Interview Transcript:  Tom Temin Somehow, at these times when things are stressful on the political front or whenever people turn to federal agencies like…
