Congratulations to our blended team – Truss, Coforma, 18F, United States Digital Service and Internal Revenue Service – for designing, developing, and releasing Direct File. 👏 “We were all just one cohesive blended team which is something I think is different …” Direct File Chief, Bridget Roberts stated, “this was not a job done piecemeal by different entities, but a unified team that worked as one unit to develop this program." Truss is honored to have partnered with you all for the original Direct File 2024 pilot in 12 states, reaching 140,000 taxpayers and thrilled to see our work recognized by the FedScoop 50 Awards as a nominee for Innovation of the Year. 👏 We look forward to continuing to work shoulder to shoulder with our blended team to offer Direct File to all states in 2025. 🚀 #civictech #directfile #softwaredevelopment https://lnkd.in/eQYamT2F

Collecting data from inside a hurricane can feel like sticking toothpicks in a donut. At least that’s how Joseph Cione, lead meteorologist for NOAA’s Hurricane Research Division, puts it. For decades, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has used small tubular devices with parachutes attached, known as dropsondes, to gather information about the storms. Each of those devices is dropped from one of the agency’s “Hurricane Hunter” aircrafts, falling through the storm like a toothpick piercing a donut and collecting data about temperature, air pressure, humidity, and wind speed on its downward path. https://hubs.ly/Q02MrF2t0

The White House has a new slew of recommendations to consider that the congressional watchdog believes will contribute to the saving of federal funds, improved modernization efforts and better cybersecurity coordination. In a report made public Monday, the Government Accountability Office outlined 37 total priority recommendations to improve how the Office of Management and Budget encourages adequate technology-related practices across the federal landscape. Those recommendations include ensuring FedRAMP usage in agencies, releasing guidance for agencies’ implementation of transparent data requirements, modernizing legacy systems to avoid higher costs for maintenance, avoiding cybersecurity pitfalls and updating procedures for electronic information system functionalities for recordkeeping systems. https://hubs.li/Q02MrzJH0

Technologically speaking, society has come a long way since an old lady fell down in her house and couldn’t get up. The Veterans Health Administration is doing its part to put some distance between that memeable late-80s/early-90s image and the current needs of and potential solutions for the aging population it serves. https://hubs.li/Q02MrzGn0

Leaders of the National Institutes of Health agency responsible for a $50 billion governmentwide IT services acquisition vehicle are “confident” that the contract will be awarded before the new expiration date for its predecessor next spring. The two top officials for the NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center told FedScoop in an interview that the agency and the Department of Justice are currently working through challenges to the contract, CIO-SP4, in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and expect to have a decision from the court in the next few months. https://hubs.li/Q02MrC350

Five years after an IRS contractor began leaking thousands of tax returns to a pair of news organizations, a new watchdog report finds that the agency still has some work to do to ensure the security and privacy of taxpayer data. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said in its report that the IRS has taken steps to better protect federal tax information and personally identifiable information of taxpayers since ProPublica and The New York Times published stories in 2020 and 2021 containing data on returns from billionaires including Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg and former President Donald Trump. https://hubs.li/Q02MrnT30
