Recent initiatives including the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul and GSA’s OneGov Strategy broke new ground in efforts to empower the acquisition workforce, streamline regulations, centralize procurements, reduce costs and broaden opportunities for the industrial base to support government missions. How are these strategies being managed to promote value for federal customers in procuring contractor products and services? How will opportunities be expanded for federal contractors ranging from small to large, Original Equipment Manufacturers to Value Added Resellers? Where can the federal contractor be best positioned for success in the government’s improved competitive and commercial environment?

This session will examine the government’s most pressing technology and acquisition challenges, with a particular focus on advancing meaningful reform. Panelists will discuss how improved communication, clearer requirements, and better funding alignment between government and industry can accelerate mission delivery—especially amid the recurring constraints of continuing resolutions. 

The conversation will also highlight opportunities to strengthen program execution through targeted proposals for Congress and real-world case studies that illustrate implementation gaps across federal initiatives. Topics will include supply chain modernization, healthcare acquisition needs, and other critical areas where smarter processes and stronger collaboration can drive measurable results. 

While the Federal Acquisition Regulation guides - in general - the bulk of traditional federal contracting, the last decade has marked a significant increase in utilizing authorities outside of the FAR to procure quickly for market and situational demand. How do U.S. Government customers and industry successfully leverage acquisition practice alternatives to the FAR, such as Other Transactions, Commercial Solutions Openings and Innovation Research to harness needed solutions for their time?

This session will feature a panel discussion who will identify and unpack key indicators of economic health and industrial base resilience as recent emphases on innovation, commercial content, cost efficiency, and speed of delivery transform the competitive landscape. What are economists seeing? What are potential implications on inflation, workforce, and other measures of economic vitality?

In GovCon and public sector M&A, integration challenges—not financials—often determine a deal’s long term success. This session dives into examples of integration issues (e.g., culture, technology and systems, leadership, workforce) that can derail value creation if left unaddressed. This panel will share examples and missteps from real acquisitions and what buyers must look for and prepare before finalizing a transaction. Panelists will discuss how to identify these friction points, anticipate concerns, and build integration playbooks that retain key talent while maintaining continuity on government programs.
