Is it a violation of federal contracting law to ask a client (or former client) for a business school rec? I’ve heard of commercial consultants doing this, but not sure if it would be ok in federal.

If it were going the other way around, it might be a thing. But feds doing personal favors for contractors is less of a concern. It's not bribery because you can't do anything for them.
