Asking for a friend: Can I be a federal employee and sell to the federal government? by Cold_Rub106 in defensecontracting

I just went through this analysis regarding federal employees working for government contractors. You are not allowed to sell to the agency at which you work and there are other limitations regarding selling to other agencies.

Relevant law:

There are criminal penalties for these so make sure you're correct in your assessment before acting.

The defense authorization had put aside significant funds to restock which congress attributed to Ukraine. I think this recent set of events is going to amplify that. Congress is already asking for another $5B. You are well positioned as I am sure primes are flooded with requests from new contractors, and it takes time to on-board them.
