GSA Announces OASIS SB Now Open for Business June 24, 2014

Court of Federal Claims and GAO deny all OASIS SB protests, GSA issues Notice to Proceed WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) recently issued an official Notice to Proceed on its One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) Small Business (SB) contract, clearing the path forward for agencies to save taxpayer dollars and federal agency resources. The issuance of a Notice to Proceed means that federal agencies can begin using this first-of-its-kind, flexible GSA contract solution to purchase both commercial, non-commercial, multidisciplinary, and complex professional services.

FAS Commissioner Tom Sharpe Said: “OASIS SB has great potential to provide agencies with more flexible full-service contract vehicle options while driving down costs for the American taxpayer. The program will strengthen the federal government by minimizing contract duplication and improving efficiency, while also delivering solid benefits to the selected OASIS SB industry partners and maximizing opportunities for small businesses.”

Key Facts  OASIS has already become the solution of choice for some government agencies. In December, the United States Air Force committed to use OASIS SB instead of creating several of its own multiple-award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) acquisition vehicles. These efforts are estimated to be worth approximately $1.4 billion per year and use of OASIS SB will save the Air Force and taxpayers significant dollars and resources.  OASIS SB, a 100-percent small business set-aside contract, was developed in response to the government’s substantial need for a hybrid, government-wide acquisition vehicle for complex professional services requirements. The list of the 125 companies providing these services is available on FedBizOpps. To obtain more information on how to start utilizing the OASIS SB contract, visit www.gsa.gov/oasis. Details on how to request a Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA), and attend mandatory training are all included for ready access.

SBA Announces $1.5 Million Grant Funding Opportunity for Innovative Projects to Help Small Disadvantaged Businesses July 2, 2014 WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that it is seeking grant proposals to award up to $1.5 million in grant funding to for-profit and non-profit service providers including, but not limited to, universities, trade and professional associations, firms, and other organizations for special projects to promote the development, success, and long-term survival of small disadvantaged businesses that participate in the agency's 8(a) Business Development Program.

The SBA expects to award 6-10 grants in the range of $150,000-$250,000, and that up to two awards may be made to small businesses. Applications will be accepted through July 20, 2014, and awards will be issued by September 30, 2014.

Under this initiative, grants will be made to service providers to enable them to make unique management and technical assistance services available to eligible small businesses that are approved by the SBA to receive services. Specifically, SBA is seeking unique and innovative projects to provide specialized training, executive education, and tools to promote business development of eligible firms. However, grants cannot be used by small businesses themselves as a source of funding to grow or otherwise expand their individual enterprises.

John Shoraka, Associate Administrator for Government Contracting and Business Development, noted that "One key strategic goal of the SBA is to genuinely broaden and deepen entrepreneurial education and counseling resources for small businesses." He added "This initiative is directly linked to that goal. The services we are now looking for will increase opportunities for potentially high-growth small businesses, especially small firms that do business with the government."

Elbit System Unveils Skylens Display for Commercial Pilots July 8, 2014 Netanya, Israel – (Reuters) - Israeli defence electronics firm Elbit Systems is banking on its new Skylens wearable head-up display for commercial pilots to boost sales.

The device, worn like ski goggles, displays high-resolution symbols and video on a transparent visor, allowing pilots to take off and land in low visibility conditions such as fog with less dependence on airport instruments.

"Nearly two out of 10 commercial flights are delayed due to weather conditions," Dror Yahav, vice president of commercial aviation in Elbit's aersopace division, told a news conference on Tuesday.

Until now commercial pilots only had head-up displays that were hung in the cockpit, which are costly to INSTALL and too big for small planes, said Ran Kril, vice president of marketing and business development in Elbit's aerospace division.

The Skylens is based on the concept already used in the helmets of AIR FORCE pilots. It is even suitable for commercial pilots who often wear glasses.

Outlays on large defence platforms by governments around the world have slowed in recent years but Elbit specialises in some niche segments that are in demand. One of these segments is commercial avionics systems.

Elbit said one of its first customers for the Skylens is France's Dassault Aviation, which selected the enhanced vision system for its Falcon BUSINESS JETS. The size of the deal has not been disclosed.

Boeing, Emirates Finalize Order for 150 777Xs July 9, 2014 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Emirates Airline have finalized an order for 150 777Xs, valued at $56 billion at list prices. First announced as a commitment at the 2013 Dubai Airshow, the order by the world's largest 777 operator was part of the largest product launch in commercial jetliner history.

The order – a combination of 115 777-9Xs and 35 777-8Xs – also includes purchase rights for an additional 50 airplanes that, if exercised, could increase value to approximately $75 billion at list prices.

"With the order for 150 777Xs, Emirates now has 208 Boeing 777s pending delivery, creating and securing jobs across the supply chain," said Emirates president Sir Tim Clark. "Today Emirates operates more than one in every 10 Boeing 777s aircraft built. We fly 138 of these efficient planes across the globe spanning the USA and Latin America in the west, to New Zealand and Japan in the East. The 777X will offer us operational flexibility in terms of range, more passenger capacity and fuel efficiency, and we look forward to inducting them into our fleet from 2020."

"We are extremely proud to have Emirates, the world's largest 777 operator, continue its longstanding partnership with Boeing by becoming the largest launch customer for the 777X," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Ray Conner. "Being a customer-driven product, I'm confident the 777X – with its new engines and all-new composite wing design – will bring superior value in terms of performance, efficiency and reliability to Emirates and our other launch customers."

The 777X will introduce the latest technologies including the most advanced commercial engine ever – the GE9X by GE Aviation – and an all-new high efficiency composite wing that has a longer span than today's 777. The 777X family includes the 777-8X and the 777-9X, both designed to respond to market needs and customer preferences.

Lockheed Martin MUOS Satellite Enters Final Testing Preparing for January Launch July 10, 2014 SUNNYVALE, CA – Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] has successfully completed ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING of the U.S. Navy’s third Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite. It recently cleared thermal vacuum trials, which validate performance in simulated space conditions, and the satellite is now in final check out.

“We are committed to quality, and our rigorous ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING regimen ensures this system is ready for the harsh environments of space,” said Iris Bombelyn, vice president of Narrowband Communications at Lockheed Martin. “It’s important to check out every aspect of the satellite at this stage so we can prepare it for service. We are on track for delivering the third MUOS satellite to the Navy this year.”

The NAVY plans to launch this addition to the constellation in January 2015.

The MUOS satellite was stressed at extreme hot and cold temperatures in a vacuum at Lockheed Martin’s Dual Entry Large Thermal Altitude chamber, simulating the environments the satellite will experience throughout its mission life.

The satellites are equipped with a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) payload that leverages commercial CELL PHONE technology. MUOS provides a 10-fold increase in communications capacity compared to the current legacy Ultra High Frequency (UHF) system.

Additionally, the WCDMA payload gives users the advantage of high-speed data and priority access that legacy systems did not.

Lockheed Martin and Lewis Innovative Technologies Collaborate Under the Department of Defense Mentor-Protégé Program July 10, 2014 MOORESTOWN, NJ – Through an agreement developed with the Department of Defense’s Mentor-Protégé Program, Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] will support Lewis Innovative Technologies, Inc., in the continued growth of its business by assisting in the areas of administrative support, training, and technology transfer. These capabilities will strengthen Lewis Innovative Technologies’ overall business infrastructure and offerings, which will in turn help meet the security needs of key customers in the ARMED FORCES. The Mentor-Protégé PROGRAM encourages prime contractors to serve as mentors in developing the technical and business capabilities of small businesses.

As a producer of sophisticated technology, Lewis Innovative Technologies is the perfect partner for Lockheed Martin and this program. The company’s products will benefit from Lockheed Martin’s business infrastructure support, while Lockheed Martin will be able to transition this technolgy to its own DEFENSE systems.

“Lewis Innovative Technologies is an ideal candidate for a protégé,” said Jeff MacBride, small BUSINESS PROGRAM manager, Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training. “Their experience in the defense industry as well as their innovation and performance with system security capabilities will benefit the Army and Department of Defense through this program.”

“Lewis Innovative Technologies is looking forward to working with Lockheed Martin through the Mentor-Protégé PROGRAM to improve our infrastructure,” said Elizabeth Lewis, chief executive officer of Lewis Innovative Technologies. “We truly believe this partnership will assist Lewis Innovative Technologies in our long term growth by providing a better product to our Military and DoD customers.”

Boeing’s Space Bins Make Room for More Bags on 737s July 10, 2014 RENTON, WA — Boeing (NYSE: BA) announced the launch of its new Space Bins today, which provide more room for carry-on bags. Space Bins are now available as an optional feature on new Next-Generation 737s and 737 MAX airplanes.

Each of the larger Space Bins will stow six bags, two more than the current pivot bins installed on NextGeneration 737s with the Boeing Sky Interior. That's based on a standard size carry-on bag measuring 9-in x 14-in x 22-in (23 cm x 36 cm x 56 cm).

"We're taking the Boeing Sky Interior, which is hugely popular with our airline customers and passengers, and building on that success by adding even more room for bags," said Beverly Wyse, vice president and general manager, 737 program, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "One of the reasons the 737 is the world's best selling airplane is because we work with our customers to continuously improve the airplane with features such as Space Bins."

With a lower bin lip height, Space Bins provide increased visibility into the back of the bins and make bag loading even easier. They're also as easy to close as the current pivot bins, but require no bin assist mechanism.

Launch customer and hometown partner Alaska Airlines will begin installing Space Bins on all new deliveries as soon as the larger bins become available in late 2015.

The Dulles International Airport is located about a half hour from the city. further But if your business is taking you to the Dulles Corrider in Northern Virginia, flying into Dulles International Airport makes more sense.

Ground Transpiration: From the Reagan airport into downtown Washington, taxi fares will run between $8 and $17 because it is so close to the city. If you're coming from Dulles airport to downtown DC will cost more than $50 plus tax, with lesser charges along the Northern Virginia route into the city.

Renting a car is another available option at both Dulles and Reagan airports.

Public Transportation: If you're heading into Downtown D.C. from the Washington Reagan airport, the Metro can get you the in about 15 minutes and will cost about $2 oneway, depending on your stop. Stations are located in terminals B and C. Weather: Although weather in D.C. is relatively mild compared to the rest of the nation, you should still be mindful of the season when packing your suitcase because the capital region has four distinct seasons. In the Fall, the foliage changes colors and the temperatures are cool, so take a medium or light jacket and long pants. Wintertime temperatures in Washington D.C. fluctuate above freezing, so bring your rain boots and umbrella — there will be lots of rain and the occasional snowstorm. In the Spring, temperatures begin to climb to a comfortable range in the mid 60s and 70s. During the Summer, the weather can get hot, humid, and uncomfortable. Temperature highs rise to the upper 80s, so bring along some shorts and light blouses.

Dining in D.C.

Brasserie Beck: Established Spring 2007, Brasserie Beck is quickly gaining a reputation for serving quality Belgian cuisine all day from lunch to late night. Located at the heart of D.C.'s burgeoning McPherson square, the contemporary European style brasserie has become a popular place for Washingtonites to meet up both during and after business hours. The beautifully decorated dining room doesn't carry conversations across the room, so it's a great spot for business lunches and private meetings. Restaurant owner and critically acclaimed chef Robert Wiedmaier brings inspiration from his Belgian roots into his dishes. Guest favorites include the moules and frites with a trio of homemade dipping sauces, the Charcuterie Plate, the classic Belgian mainstay of Beef Carconnade, and the Crispy Skate Wing. Beck also features a raw oyster bar and a full-service bar that boasts the city's most comprehensive Belgian beer list outside Belgium with nine draught beers and over 100 offered by the bottle.

Old Ebbitt Grill: Just steps away from The White House, Old Ebbitt Grill is a popular dining destination for suits to discuss business over traditional American food. Its Beaux-Arts facade and Victorian interior is reminiscent of Washington saloons at the turn of the century. The 1856 establishment was a favorite amongst U.S. presidents like Grant, Cleveland, Harding, and Theodore Roosevelt.

Its mahogany and velvet booths provide the perfect privacy for political insiders, lawyers, business executives, journalists, and celebrities to meet up, negotiate deals, or swap stories. This historic eatery serves upscale American saloon food with an emphasis on fresh and seasonal ingredients. Their menu offers a wide variety of traditional cuisine, from pasta to steak to seafood. If you are a fan of oysters, be sure to stop by D.C.'s most famous Oyster Bar in the back of the room.
