What the 2026 NDAA Really Means for Government Contractors

The 2026 NDAA is out, and most contractors won’t read it. That’s a mistake.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dolores Kuchina-Musina to break down what actually matters. We cover changes to Commercial Solutions Openings, the gray areas around developmental work, what’s happening with SBIR reauthorization, and why OTAs are once again being pushed as a priority tool.More importantly, we talk about what this means for small and mid-sized contractors trying to position themselves for growth.Policy changes don’t just affect Washington. They shape your capture strategy, your compliance posture, and your relationship with contracting officers.If you want to stop reacting and start anticipating, this conversation will sharpen your edge.
