How will the new Congress affect contractors?

March 1, 2011 — This week on “Off the Shelf” Jonathan Etherton, president and owner of Etherton & Associates, Inc., discusses the outlook for procurement reform and oversight on the Hill.

Where will the oversight focus be in the new Congress? What does Congress have in store for contractors and government? How will the new House leadership impact initiatives like insourcing? Should the lessons learned from wartime contracting be applied to the entire procurement system? Etherton also touches on the prospects for the budget as the continuing resolution shutdown deadline approaches.
