Here's a little something to put some pep in your business development step.
For FY2012, which U.S. State holds the #1 spot for federal agency spending under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures where the place of performance was in that state?
Idaho reigns supreme!
No, this is not a chamber of commerce ad for the potato state, but recognition of the more than $420 million dollars spent via streamlined purchase methods this fiscal year (already) with a place of performance in Idaho. More than fifty organizations (including the State of Idaho) have taken at least one of the more than one-thousand contract actions issued by U.S. Mint, Veterans Affairs, OPM, Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.
Like to know more about this and the rest of the nearly $3 billion dollars that's already been awarded by federal agencies in FY12? Register for Wednesday's Business Over Breakfast in Tysons or for an upcoming in-person or web edition of The ASBCs of Government Contracting: Simplified Acquisition Overview.

My View of the SBA Size Standard Increase
It appears my blog regarding the recent change to the small business size standards has sparked some good discussion. I've received a bevy of direct messages from folks sharing their thoughts on the impact of this situation, as well as comments on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
Would you believe GSA has processed the most Simplified Acquisition contract actions so far for FY12?
In fact, they've processed nearly 65,000 streamlined purchases this year, and if recent history is any indication of future activity, they are just getting warmed up.
Like to know how much they've spent or what they're buying?
