Deep dives

Impact of Continuing Resolution on Federal Agencies and Contractors

The podcast episode discusses the impact of the continuing resolution (CR) on federal agencies and contractors. The CR allows federal agencies to operate until December 17, but new projects using appropriated funds cannot be started. This leads to a slow start for the fiscal year, and the future beyond December 17 remains uncertain, pending the results of the midterm elections. The podcast highlights the potential for further delays in budget approvals and the need for government contractors to adapt and plan accordingly.
