Former Contracting Officer Accused of Accepting $3 Million in Bribes | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
For the past 10 years, the U.S. Army has been upgrading Camp Humphreys to be its new flagship installation in South Korea. The bulk of U.S. forces and civilians stationed in South Korea, including those stationed at the current Eighth U.S. Army Headquarters in Yongson (Seoul) will be relocated to Camp Humphreys once the upgrades are completed. This will allow U.S. Forces to consolidate its footprint from more than 100 installations throughout South Korea to less than 50. Camp Humphreys has the added benefit of being located beyond the range of most of North Korea’s 14,000 artillery pieces.

Tim DiNapoli, director of acquisition and sourcing management issues at the Government Accountability Office, shares the details on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

SeaPort-NxG: Major changes ahead require a revamped win strategy | Lohfeld
SeaPort-e is a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) that contractors either love or hate. For most of the 3,196 award holders, the Navy’s flagship vehicle has generated little if any revenues. For the select few, such as Booz Allen Hamilton, SAIC, CSRA, BAE, and General Dynamics, the $51 billon engineering professional services vehicle has been a reliable revenue generator. Less than 20% of prime contractors have received any awards (this is true for both the large and small business tracks).
