Cleared for Public Release - But Just Barely
The off-the-record podcast for federal contracting pros living in FAR, DFARS, and controlled chaos.
If you’ve ever questioned your life choices while chasing a checklist—welcome home. This is where acquisition professionals say what everyone else is too afraid to put in writing.
Bad SOWs. Questionable flowdowns. CPSR anxiety.
“Technically acceptable” decisions that haunt your soul.
Behind every compliant contract is an overworked professional holding it together with caffeine and clause logic.
This isn’t polished.
It’s not scripted.
And it’s definitely not safe for email.
We speak fluent FAR.
And sarcasm.

When an existing requirement moves from cost-reimbursement, T&M, labor-hour, or hybrid contracting into a fixed-price structure, the contractor may absorb more responsibility for cost growth, scope ambiguity, performance uncertainty, subcontractor exposure, and margin erosion.
This free 20-question Fixed-Price Conversion Risk Screening helps identify whether visible warning signs may already be present before negotiation, acceptance, or performance.
It is not a full readiness review.
It is not a final diagnosis.
It is a preliminary screening tool designed to help you determine whether deeper review is warranted.
Do not guess your way into fixed-price risk.

Most contracting problems don’t look like problems until it’s too late.
The issues aren’t obvious in the moment. They build quietly through assumptions, shortcuts, and decisions that seem fine at the time.
These episodes break down what actually goes wrong and why most contractors don’t see it coming until someone starts asking questions.
All past and current episodes (along with all of our "Shorts") can be found on YouTube. Just Search for "The GovCon Show"
