This Tuesday, our offices in Colorado, Indiana, Virginia, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas hosted breakfast celebrations to recognize Veterans within the company and outside for their service and dedication. Our Tysons office featured members of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and CEO Chuck Prow spoke at the event. In Mississippi, local first responders and veterans came to the office for a delicious way to start their morning. These events included a blood drive to collect blood alongside local hospitals. This all coincides with our V2X Month of Service. In Colorado Springs, we are collecting donations for the Springs Rescue Mission Homeless Shelter, while the Tysons office will be delivering collected canned goods to the USO and Fisher House at Ft. Belvoir. Thank you to our veterans and all those who serve our country! #GoV2X #V2XCommitted #veteransday

Charles (Chuck) Prow shared thisCharles (Chuck) Prow shared thisVectrus employees located at Kuwait Naval Base (KNB) are celebrating our #earthday Environmental Champion Campaign by reflecting on a year-long effort to create a cleaner, safer, and healthier work environment. Thanks to hard work and a desire to improve the base, this team has placed recycling dumpsters on the property, aluminum cans are taken off post for recycling, proper receptacles have been placed in designated smoking areas, and areas previously overgrown and filled with debris have seen employees beautify the grounds with vegetable gardens that also act as a peaceful oasis. As a team, great strides are being made toward a zero-waste policy and they are proud of what they have already accomplished!

On the heels of ProPublica's articles about the GSA SmartPay program and Ramp, Ranking Member Gerald Connolly of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has issued a letter (below) to GSA's Acting Administrator asking for documentation related to the pilot RFI. https://lnkd.in/gYH4iVRN ProPublica articles: https://lnkd.in/gtbYkzgn https://lnkd.in/gxtgwgke TPM article: https://lnkd.in/gRdBvsWS

Big move from GSA: the Federal Acquisition Service has established the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS) to centralize purchasing of common goods and services—nearly $500B/year—with longtime GSA exec Thomas Meiron named assistant commissioner. This aligns with the administration’s push on procurement consolidation and the ongoing FAR overhaul. What this means for contractors: -Expect more consolidation of vehicles and tighter category-management oversight. -Potential shifts for major IT vehicles (e.g., NASA SEWP, NITAAC CIO-SP3/4) toward GSA management—track transition guidance closely. -Now’s the time to review your SIN mix, pricing discipline, and compliance reporting to stay aligned with centralized buying. We’re tracking implications and helping clients map their FY26 strategy—happy to compare notes. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/guKXs9yR #GSA #GovCon #FederalProcurement #Acquisition #CategoryManagement #MAS #SEWP #CIOSP4 #OCAS #FAROverhaul

🔔 GSA MAS Refresh #30 – Coming November 2025 #GSA #MAS #FederalContracts #Acquisition #GovCon GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) has announced plans to issue MAS Solicitation Refresh #30 this November. Key updates include: ✅ Alignment with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) — modernizing clauses and provisions across the MAS program. ✅ Updates to proposal instructions (SCP-FSS-001) to reflect new FAR/GSAR deviations. ✅ Revisions to the Order-Level Materials (OLM) SIN under the Miscellaneous category. ✅ Contractors will have 90 days to accept the mass modification once issued. All MAS holders should review the draft notice, monitor the MAS Interact community, and be prepared to accept the update promptly once live. 💡 GDI Consulting is your extended in-house arm for GSA Schedule management, compliance, and proposal support — ensuring you stay ahead of every solicitation refresh and regulatory shift.

8(a) Contracting Under Increased Scrutiny On January 16, 2026, Pete Hegseth announced a Department of War review of SBA 8(a) contracts as part of broader federal contracting reform. All sole-source 8(a) awards over $20M (and some smaller contracts) will undergo review, focusing on mission impact and whether small businesses are truly performing the work—or acting as pass-throughs. The review follows heightened enforcement by the Small Business Administration and Department of Justice, signaling sustained focus on program integrity. What it means: expect tighter oversight, more documentation, and increased emphasis on performance, compliance, and in-house capability for 8(a) contracts. https://lnkd.in/gaawTwvP

We’re diving into fixing procurement and the reality's of delivering new capability at the "speed of need". For both government teams and contractors, the challenge is always the same: how do you move faster while staying within the guardrails of FAR/DFARS? This should be a great session for anyone frustrated by the current defense acquisition ecosystem.
