Federal Gov't Shutdown: What NECA Contractors Need to Know
Just after midnight on October 1, 2025, the Federal government effectively shut down when neither a full-year spending bill nor a Continuing Resolution (CR) was passed for Government departments or agencies whose budgets expired September 30, 2025.
