Tris Carpenter Highlights Key Themes in FAR Overhaul

ASHBURN, Va., May 12, 2025 – Red Team Consulting’s (Red Team) General Manager for Strategic Growth, Tris Carpenter, recently shared insights on the evolving landscape of federal procurement during an interview with Ross Wilkerson on Washington Technology’s WT 360 podcast. The discussion centered on the proposed rewrite of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), commonly referred to as FAR 2.0.

Carpenter emphasized that while specific details of the structural changes are still being finalized, there are clear themes emerging that government contractors should consider in their strategic planning. He noted that the FAR overhaul introduces new risks into the procurement system, presenting challenges that both government contractors and government agencies have not traditionally faced.

Despite these uncertainties, Carpenter expressed optimism about the opportunities these changes present. He highlighted that with adequate preparation, companies of all sizes—from established players to new entrants—can navigate the evolving procurement environment successfully.
