  • GovCon’s vital signs point to DHS’ partial closure, Anthropic’s possible exit and the FAR Overhaul

    GovCon’s vital signs point to DHS’ partial closure, Anthropic’s possible exit and the FAR Overhaul
    Mar 23 2026
    GovCon finds itself in a strange situation where the Homeland Security Department does not have a budget and is in a shutdown, but the three immigration agencies are still operating with some funds. How is that possible? Stephanie Kostro, president of the Professional Services Council, joins Nick and Ross for this episode to lay out how that is and the DHS funding lapse’s myriad impacts on industry and society. Their conversation then turns to what contractors are seeking to learn and understand from the U.S. government’s very public breakup with Anthropic, which will take months to complete, and what to watch for next in the Federal Acquisition Regulation overhaul effort. The Revolutionary FAR Overhaul is far from the only policy item contractors should pay attention to in 2026, as Kostro explains. Trump's new DHS nominee promises some changes, adequate staffing amid shutdown-induced departures CISA to furlough most of its workforce under impending DHS shutdown Path to averting a shutdown remains elusive as lawmakers debate DHS funding Microsoft takes Anthropic's side in DOD fight, warns it sets a new precedent WT 360: Nextgov/FCW’s Alexandra Kelley on the government’s breakup with Anthropic Anthropic sues over a dozen federal agencies and government leaders The FAR overhaul rewrote the rules, but now comes the hard part The hardest part of FAR reform is culture, not the rules GSA set to begin its rulemaking push for the FAR overhaul Small businesses face upheaval under the acquisition overhaul and agency cuts

    All about the paths forward for SAIC, Anthropic, resellers and 8(a) companies
    Mar 16 2026
    Science Applications International Corp. can move ahead on their big decision points now that it has a permanent chief executive, which presents at least one element of certainty in a world replete with unknowns. Nick and Ross use this episode as a starting point for looking at SAIC’s next steps under CEO Jim Reagan, and the paths forward for several other key business and policy storylines in the public sector landscape. Anthropic’s fight against the U.S. government’s push to eject it from the market has industry-wide implications to unpack, as does the future of IT resellers and 8(a) companies amid their customer’s scrutiny on those corners of the market. Nick and Ross also break down why organizational culture is crucial for the Federal Acquisition Regulation overhaul effort. SAIC's board stays with Reagan, names him full-time CEO SAIC plans partial pivot away from enterprise IT Microsoft takes Anthropic's side in DOD fight, warns it sets a new precedent Anthropic sues over a dozen federal agencies and government leaders WT 360: Nextgov/FCW’s Alexandra Kelley on the government’s breakup with Anthropic Government equity investments open a new frontier for industry OPINION: Federal equity investments raise troubling questions about picking winners and losers L3Harris to spin off its rocket motor business with the Pentagon as an anchor investor OPINION: The government's 'passive' Intel stake heightens their commitment to each other and winning the chip wars ‘We will have their backs:’ GSA pushes culture shift for FAR changes The hardest part of FAR reform is culture, not the rules FAR overhaul targets risk-averse acquisition culture GSA wants answers from resellers about markups and equipment maker relationships Don’t count out resellers as OneGov agreements grow Where GSA sees resellers fitting into its unified procurement strategy SBA boots 628 more companies from 8(a) program 8(a) program faces unprecedented pressure from Trump administration attacks SBA probing 8(a) fraud allegations at tribal-owned contractor

  • Nextgov/FCW’s Alexandra Kelley on the government’s breakup with Anthropic

    Nextgov/FCW’s Alexandra Kelley on the government’s breakup with Anthropic
    Mar 9 2026
    The Defense Department and Anthropic are on opposite ends of a nasty disagreement, with government-wide and industry-wide implications, over what the company’s Claude large language model and other offerings can be used for. Alexandra Kelley, our Nextgov/FCW colleague who covers emerging tech, has extensively covered the fallout from that impasse as agencies are working to comply with President Trump’s executive order to stop using Claude after the Pentagon essentially broke up with Anthropic. “Alexa,” as we and other GovExec colleagues call her, joins our Ross Wilkers for this episode to explain how those phase-out processes are taking place and provide an initial look at the government’s AI landscape without Anthropic in it. Claude is embedded in so many workflows across government that fully removing it is not a matter of simply deleting the app, as Alexa points out. Private sector, former military leaders urge Congress intervene in Pentagon-Anthropic dispute House amendment responding to Pentagon-Anthropic conflict fails committee vote Defense tech enters a new era: the case of Anthropic and the DOD Pentagon’s war on Anthropic based on ‘dubious’ legal thinking and ideology—not real risk, sources say Agencies begin to shed Anthropic contracts following Trump’s directive Trump directs government to ‘immediately cease’ using Anthropic technology It would take the Pentagon months to replace Anthropic’s AI tools: sources Anthropic CEO defends support for AI regulations, alignment with Trump policies Anthropic CEO sees 3 areas where policymakers can help with AI GSA and Anthropic ink deal for Claude AI across all government branches AWS GovCloud gets high-level security approvals for Anthropic and Meta AI models Anthropic introduces new Claude Gov models with national security focus AI startup Anthropic to build out public sector team
