Overview

BATTLESPACE AND CONTINGENCY CONTRACTING is a new course that has been developed for International Contracting Week: Export Controls, FCPA, FMS.

As a result of U.S. and allied engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, and due to continued U.S. reliance on contractors for support in counterterrorism, reconstruction, "smart power," and humanitarian relief efforts throughout the world, government contractors working abroad need to know the mechanics and best practices of “battlespace” and contingency contracting. This seminar is designed to discuss not only fundamentals in contingency operations contracting, but to address the latest issues in this area so that contractors can understand and manage the risks associated with this evolving and important area.

This half-day course will address:
- Unique contract requirements in contingency contracting

- USG audit and oversight issues

- Special considerations when contracting or subcontracting for private security

- International regulatory compliance considerations (e.g., export controls, anti-corruption rules)

- Accountability rules pertaining to contractors and their employees’ conduct in support of these contracts
