Deep dive into the Department of Defense implementation of CARES Act section 3610
Subtitle: Key considerations for contractors seeking relief for impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic
Description: The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic crisis have disrupted businesses across all regions and industries and government contractors have not been immune. Congress provided a path for government contractors to seek relief through the CARES Act, specifically section 3610. Government agencies have scrambled to craft actionable guidance for contracting officers and the contracting community. DoD has been at the forefront of this effort, issuing the most comprehensive guidance to date. In this on-demand webinar, we dissect the regulatory approach taken by agencies in implementing section 3610, emphasizing DoD's approach. We will focus on cost recovery, tease relevant clues and cues from contract clauses and case law, and post warning signs where we see potential compliance and audit pitfalls. Join Baker Tilly and Arnold & Porter to explore and map the labyrinth of agency guidance implementing section 3610, from broad pronouncements to complex and detailed rules, clauses, and checklists.
