In this episode, we keep our focus on the FAR Overhaul and take a clear, practical look at Part 37—Service Contracting. This section may not always get the spotlight, but the recent changes matter. Service contracts make up a large share of federal spending, so even small updates can have a big impact. The new version of Part 37 is shorter, simpler, and easier to follow. It is now organized around how work actually happens–from planning through performance, so you can see the full picture more clearly.

Kevin is joined by an experienced contracting officer in this area and part of the Skyway Team, Shelley Hall, to walk through what changed and why it matters. Together, we break it down in plain terms and connect it to real-world use. You’ll hear how the updated FAR puts more focus on outcomes, clearer rules, and stronger judgment by COs. If you work in government or industry, this episode will help you stay ready, avoid risk, and make better decisions in today’s service contracting environment.
