Federal Procurement Subcontracting involves many issues whether one represents a U.S. government agency customer, a federal government prime contractor, or a commercial subcontractor working in support of a federal government prime contract. The issues for each are related, but different, depending on the circumstances and the party for whom one works. This series discusses similarities, differences, and characteristics one should recognize and understand when working in support of any of these parties.

Topics to be addressed include:

• Applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations, plus Characteristics, Similarities, Differences, and Relationships between U.S. Government prime contracts and their associated subcontracts.
• “Authority to Contract” at the government, prime and subcontract levels; Flow-Down Requirements; Solicitation Provisions; and Contract Clauses applicable to U.S. Government prime contracts and their associated subcontracts.
• Specialized topics relating to U.S. Government prime contracts and subcontracts, including Teaming Agreements; Financing Arrangements; Socio-Economic Objectives; Commercial Product/Services Contracting; and Cost Disclosures.
• The Formation, Administration, and Performance of U.S. Government contracts and their associated subcontracts, including matters relating to Inspection, Acceptance and Warranty; Subcontract Payments; Contract Changes; Disputes; and Terminations.

In each 90-minute session, we’ll discuss statutory, regulatory, and other requirements pertinent to the subjects addressed, identify common misperceptions and associated risks, explore practical examples, and identify best practices for dealing with many of the issues concerned. Each session offers 1.5 hours of CLE. Please register for the entire series or join us for an individual webinar that suits you and your organization’s needs.
