Replay: What's NOT Changing in Government Contracting, ft. Shauna Weatherly

Описание: In a world where policy updates, executive orders, and technology shifts dominate the headlines, it’s easy to believe everything in government contracting is changing. But in reality, some fundamentals remain steady — and understanding them is what separates consistent performers from constant scramblers.

In this episode of GovConHacks, host Ashley Duwel and co-host Natasha Velez sit down with Shauna Weatherly, a seasoned federal acquisition expert and former Contracting Officer, to discuss the enduring principles that continue to drive federal procurement.

Together, they unpack:

🎯 Mission-Driven Buying — Why agencies always buy to fulfill their unique mission.

🤝 Relationships (Ethically) — Building credibility without crossing ethical boundaries or sounding “salesy.”

📜 Statutory Requirements — What’s staying put: the FAR, the Competition in Contracting Act, and the Small Business Act.

⚙️ The Basics — Contract types, pricing, compliance, and performance standards that still define success.

🧭 Staying Current — How to adapt to new policies while staying grounded in proven principles.

Whether you’re a new contractor trying to find your footing or an experienced firm navigating policy noise, this conversation is your reminder that not everything is changing — and that’s a good thing.
