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 breakout session will provide a status update on CMMC to include an overview of recent activity including CMMC Level 1 self-certification in November 2025 and Level 2 certification in February 2026 and a panel representing small, medium, and large businesses and an accessor organization to discuss their experiences with compliance. The panel will be a constructive conversation on lessons learned and challenges with implementing CMMC and address supply chain aspects, particularly for primes and small businesses. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in interactive table discussions.

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? What are lessons learned from the broader economy that can be applied in govcon, and what should companies watch for?

This session will provide critical insights into how industry players can innovate intelligently—for the benefit of your company and customer alike.

This session will provide an in-depth analysis of the government contracting M&A landscape, highlighting key market drivers and recent transaction activity. Discussion will cover the impact of federal budget shifts, FAR modernization, contract consolidation, small business policy changes, and evolving priorities in AI. We will also examine how executive orders, agency restructuring, and spending realignments under the Trump Administration are reshaping competitive positioning for both buyers and sellers. Looking ahead, speakers will share a forward-focused forecast for 2026—addressing valuation trends, financing strategies, and the sectors expected to be most competitive in the years ahead.

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.
