John Cooney and Paul Debolt published "Sequestration – Thinking About the Unthinkable" in the October 2012 edition of Contract Manager, the magazine of the National Contract Managers Association (NCMA). The NCMA is a trade association with over 20,000 members.
The article analyzes the policy dynamic underlying the Sequestration process from the perspective of government contractors, especially defense contractors, and suggests different practical steps that various types of contractors could take to think through and start planning how to protect themselves in case the unthinkable and unintended happens, and the threat of Sequestration becomes a reality in early January.
