Nick and Nate Episode 1: Federal Market Watchlist

Just a few more days to get your comments in:
In what is a running theme: companies have a mere week to comment on this latest draft solicitation for the Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology Next Generation recompete.
Don't miss the latest WT 360 podcast episode where Ross Wilkers explores the trends driving opportunities in 2023.
Hear our Ross Wilkers and RSM's government contracting senior analyst Stephanie Smith go over the topics and themes companies are paying attention to with 2023 underway, and some they should be talking about.
NASA has another large single award IT contract up for grabs. This one consolidates 10 existing contracts into one. Comments on the draft RFP are due at the end of the month.
The agency tweaks its timeline, provides more details on its planned approach and shows where it wants industry feedback.
VA has released the draft RFP for T4NG 2. Don't waste any time. Comments are due Friday.
But time is short: comments regarding the VA's go-to technology contract are due Friday (Jan. 20).
We are seeing more protests involving allegations of organizational conflict of interest but usually it involves hiring former govies who worked on a particular project.
But this one was triggered because two different parts of Booz Allen won contracts at VA and competitors said Booz should not have both contracts. They claimed that one contract could feed work or influence the other unfairly.
GAO found no conflict, but it is an interesting case.
This is the second time in 12 months that protestors unsuccessfully raised conflict-of-interest allegations against Booz Allen over a large Veterans Affairs win.
Let us know what you think of this. Is Nick off base?
A new request for information out of the Veterans Affairs' IT office makes me wonder if the VA has unstated reasons for creating such a short window for responses.
