Contracting Community Highlights

In Army AL&T Magazine's "Contracting Community Highlights" section, each feature article is intended to provide in-depth information relative to a contracting organization, mission or process. This issue's feature article, "Bundling Contract Requirements," gives an in-depth overview of "bundling" requirements and their legal bases, when the requirements apply to an acquisition, and courses of action. Roger Neds, Chief General Counsel, Army Contracting Agency (ACA) Northern Region Headquarters, provides this article as an instructive tool on this concept.

In addition to the feature, we provide news from a number of our contracting organizations, such as announcing the winners of the General Services Administration Ida Ustad Award for Excellence in Acquisition and California's Employer of the Year Award. This issue, our regular "DAR Council Corner" provides a list of Army Defense Acquisition Regulation and Federal Acquisition Regulation representatives.

We appreciate the continued support from the field in providing material to submit for publication, and we hope you find the submissions as informative and interesting as we do. If you need more information on any of the topics presented, call (703) 604-7107 or e-mail ann.scotti@hqda.army.mil for the pertinent contact information.
