An in depth look at interagency contracting

Brian Friel, owner of BD Squared, joins host Roger Waldron on this week's Off the Shelf for a wide-ranging and in-depth discussion of the current state of interagency contracting. 

The discussion kicks off with some historical context regarding interagency contracting, the creation of the IT GWACs, and the evolving role (mandatory versus non-mandatory) of the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS). 

Friel gives an update on POLARIS, Alliant 3, OASIS+, and shares his thoughts on the impact of the wind down of NIH’s interagency contracting vehicles and program. 

Turning to NASA SEWP VI, Friel provides his insights, analysis, and outlook for the recently awarded contract vehicle, and touches on interesting policy changes impacting multiple award IDIQs. 

Finally, Friel discusses the current status of the Army’s MAPS procurement.
