NEW CO Podcast EPISODE # 548 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gRmgzdmt How the DoD Acquisition System rewrite aligns with flexibility already in the FAR. The world of defense contracting is changing fast, and this episode breaks down what that means for you. Today, the team takes a close look at the new Warfighting Acquisition System and how it affects the work of contracting officers. Kevin welcomes Hector Navarro, a retired Marine Corps Contracting Officer, who brings real world experience and clear insight. Hector explains new terms, new roles, and why these changes matter. Together, they step back to explore the big picture, then walk through the details in a simple and direct way. This episode is not just about rules. It is about how people make decisions, manage risk, and keep mission needs front and center. The team discuss how contracting officers balance long standing FAR rules with faster, portfolio driven demands. They also show why sound judgment and clear communication matter more than ever. Whether you work in government, support industry, or want to understand how acquisition is speeding up, this episode gives you what you need. It is clear, practical, and built to help you stay ready for what comes next. #contractingofficerpodcast #DoGovConWell #GovCon #Governmentcontracting #Podcast #Procurements #Acquisitions
