Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

They sharply limit the government's use of lowest-priced, technically-acceptable deals in services acquisitions. Both changes were mandated by law, but they took a while. Alan Chvotkin, executive vice president and counsel at the Professional Services Council, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for his take.
