DIBBSFlow's reading

DIBBSFlow's reading, from the source above, checked 2026-11-05.

The comment window on this utility services proposal is closed, and the record still lists it as a proposed rule. The rule concerns how GSA buys utility services. If you hold or pursue GSA utility service work, the next document to look for is a final rule under GSAR Case 2026-G502; the record gives no date for one.

Change log

  • 2026-11-05: added to the watch from the weekly sweep; Federal Register document 2026-20317 and its regulations.gov record are one item; the record reads "Open: False" with a close time behind us, so the status is Deadline passed rather than the sweep's derived Comment open; source opened 2026-11-05.
  • 2026-11-05: held, Codex returned FIX; gate run 2026-11-05.
  • 2026-11-09: gate rerun against the page capture, Codex SHIP after fix: unsupported supplier-reach claim dropped; status restored from Held; source opened 2026-11-05.
