Government contracting is always unpredictable, but in today’s political climate, it feels downright chaotic. Shutdown threats, shifting acquisition priorities, and evolving small business policies create a turbulent landscape for small GovCon firms. In this episode of Unveiled: GovCon Stories, we break down how political uncertainty is impacting contract opportunities, funding reliability, and long-term planning. From budget battles and leadership changes to policy shifts affecting small business set-asides, we examine the risks GovCon firms face and strategies to stay resilient. If you’ve been feeling the squeeze, you’re not alone—let’s talk about it.
