The White House proposes supplemental funding in the billions to prepare for a likely continuing resolution (CR), which would affect federal acquisition and contractors for fiscal 2022.
- Greg Giddens, partner at Potomac Ridge Consulting and former Department of Veterans Affairs chief acquisition officer, said contractors should start a dialogue with their government counterparts about how to best move forward for a CR and potential shutdown.
- Giddens said the issue with a CR is the uncertainty about timelines and incremental funding.
- Giddens recommended agencies try to move new contracts off the September cycle to avoid the end-of-fiscal-year crush.
