I had a great time last week at the National HUBZone Conference in Chantilly, Virginia. If you were there, please reach out to say hi!
In this week’s edition of SmallGovCon Week In Review, we’ll look at GSA’s new eBuy pilot program, insight into the SBA OIG’s 8(a) eligibility findings, new WHD-compliance tools from the U.S. Department of Labor, the impact of debriefings on bid protests, and much more.
Have a great weekend!
