It's Five for Friday on March 21st. I curate out five things every Friday for people interested in public sector operations in general and public procurement specifically. And from time to time, I record an audio companion, which is what you are listening to now. So first, the Coalition for Common Sense in Government Procurement shares new procurement-related direction from the Department of Defense, specifically to not enforce a handful of equal opportunity provisions from the FAR in future contracts and to not follow related procedures in the defense FAR supplement. While this is currently DoD specific, these trend lines are ones that will almost certainly affect future contracting direction and should be on the radar for all. Second, State Scoop writes about the Speed for Bead proposed legislation, which is intended as a reform measure for the broadband investment funds that many received to change some program and technology focus of the current initiative. While this is, of course, still subject to the legislative process, it's important to be aware of for communities with active programs. Third, the University of Virginia contributes a piece on how government decisions, particularly tariff policies, affect supply chain and procurement. The post goes through many of the factors that may impact future trends for supply chain professionals. Fourth, GFOA, the financial officers, compiles many of its key resources related to its ongoing rethinking budget effort through its monthly LinkedIn newsletter, as well as previewing the upcoming GFOA conference, which is in June. And finally, NASPO introduces a new procurement law resource designed to help professionals quickly find answers to legal questions related to public purchasing compliance and mitigating risk. In bonus material, NIGP and SPLC, which is the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council, and NIGP, of course, is the Institute for Governmental Purchasing, have launched a new collaboration aimed at advancing sustainability and public procurement through education and combined content for procurement professionals. This week, I talked about how Civic Initiatives has a company-wide day off on Friday. We try to do mental health days in any month that doesn't have a three-day holiday. This year, there happens to be two, one in March and one in August. I think it's important for people to have time off where they don't have to worry about that incoming ping from a coworker saying, hey, can you answer this real quick? So it's a small thing, but I think it's an important part of our culture. And I'm glad to be able to do it. And so with that, have a happy Friday.
