Section 809 Panel and Texting While Driving | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

For the past couple of days, we’ve been discussing the activities of the Section 809 Panel (refer to Update on Section 809 Panel). Ultimately, the Panel will be “making recommendations, including actionable changes to regulatory and statutory language, to improve the acquisition process within DoD.” For the purposes of the panel, regulations include not only regulations, but executive orders, directives, policies, and procedures as well. The Panel’s goal is to take a comprehensive approach to weeding out regulatory and statutory underbrush that gets in the way of the DoD mission and to recommend entirely new pathways for approaching defense acquisition that promotes innovation, agility, and speed across the whole range of goods and services.
