Why the digital transformation is a pillar for rebuilding trust in government: Trust is a complicated issue, and while improving the ‘digital experience’ citizens have with government websites and apps isn’t a panacea, it will go a long way toward restoring faith By Rob Hankey The post Why the digital transformation is a pillar for rebuilding trust in government first appeared on Federal News Network. @Poseidon-US #FedearlNewsRadio #News

Did you know the federal government awarded “small businesses” over $178 billion in contracts during fiscal year 2023? Below is the link to the list of recipients, award amounts (obligations), and total payments (outlays) to date. According to Google, the SBA defines a small business for government contracting purposes by size standards that vary by industry and NAICS code. (NAICS codes can be found on this official website of the U.S. government - https://lnkd.in/eiEB4sj3.) Some general characteristics of a small business as defined by the SBA, according to Google, include: ·     being independently owned and operated ·     not being dominant in its field ·     being organized for profit ·     having fewer than 500 employees, including affiliates ·     having a place of business in the U.S. ·     operating primarily within the U.S. or making a significant contribution to the U.S. economy By the way, here’s a link to an article about the awards on SBA.gov--https://bit.ly/4gvAgH4. You’re welcome! 😉

Trust in Government is a critical factor in building efficient contextual Government services. I spent some time talking to Government Transformation magazine about this topic, and you can read their report here...

Good morning all and welcome to Fiscal Year 2025 for those in the Department of Defense contract world! As promised, I will be posting a series of observations and comments on Fiscal Year 2024. The intent, as always, is to assist businesses in being eligible and competitive for Department of Defense contracts AND to reduce friction! So, Post #1 is "Being Eligible for Department of Defense Contracts". Being eligible means: 1. Being registered and current in the System for Award Management, www.sam.gov 2. Being registered in Wide Area Workflow so you can invoice. Google "Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment" for the link. 3. Being properly certified by the Small Business Administration if you want to compete as a small business. www.sba.gov. I will go into detail on SBA certification in a separate post because we had to much friction, especially at the end of the FY with this one. That said, the above are non-negotiable, there is no hook up, special deal or work around for any of these three. If you are not in compliance you are not eligible for a Department of Defense contract. If you still have questions you are welcome to e-mail them to me at Chris.rabassi@usmc.mil. Next post today will be on Small Business Adminstration certifications. "The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent Marine Corps positions, strategies or opinions.”

What is the best way to fund IT needs across various agencies and departments? To improve outcomes, start with a baseline and allocate the resources to the areas of highest risk likelihood and impact. Tools alone are never the answer. You can put the best paintbrush in my hand, but that doesn't make me an artist. The same is true with SIEM, a pen testing tool, or a compliance portal provided to an organization without experience or training to detect and validate threats or how to implement controls to achieve data protection requirements. The shortcut is often to wrap a service around the tool that empowers the organization to learn how to effectively leverage the solution to get to the outcome: https://lnkd.in/eKX2_AAr
