Government contracting success isn’t just about winning the bid — it starts there.

Join us on March 18, for a complimentary interactive conversation moderated by Todd Hatherly (FPS) and featuring Nia Mahallati (Shipley), Jeff White (JA White & Associates) and Sarah Sprockett (FPS). This forum is designed for experienced government contracting professionals looking to align business development, program execution, and compliance. In today’s environment, success reflects more than regulatory change; it requires a fundamental shift in strategy, tactics, and execution across federal contract awards.

Using the integrated Win Perform Comply framework, this forum explores how capture strategy, proposal and pricing decisions, contract execution, and compliance must function as a single, continuous lifecycle, rather than disconnected disciplines. Attendees will examine how early capture and pricing choices shape execution risk, how performance outcomes influence compliance posture and future awards, and how compliance can serve as an enabler of operational success, not a post-award constraint.

Through real-world examples and facilitated discussion, Nia and Jeff will highlight common breakdowns between winning work, performing it profitably, and sustaining compliance — and offer practical strategies to close those gaps. As part of the Win discussion, Shipley will address how solution formulation, pricing, and capture discipline directly define proposal commitments, execution feasibility, and compliance risk at award.

Each year the Federal government issues more funding as grants and cooperative agreements than contracts. This trend has accelerated in the past two years and has seen increased media attention due to the COVID-19 crisis and the race for a vaccine and other treatments. In this course, we will introduce you to federal grant funding and discuss the relevant compliance considerations and requirements.

A comprehensive review of the key players, mechanics and insights on how to contract out a federal grant from the recipient, subgrantee and subrecipient sides

This is a special one-day course designed to help clarify and prepare for the impacts of DOGE to the industry as government policy flows down through the agencies and ultimately to the contractors.

Since January 19, 2025, President Trump has signed no less than 73 Executive Orders. Some directly or indirectly impact federal contracting acquisition. This special one-day course discusses not only the Executive Orders and Agency directives, but also the recourse contractors have to recover costs related to contract modifications and contract terminations.   

We will start with a review of the most important impacts and then move into how to mitigate risks, issues with contract terminations for convenience (T4C) and how to recover costs through a termination settlement proposal. We will also cover the challenges now facing contractors with civilian agency contracts and grants.

• Executive Orders impacting the industry
• Importance of assessing your financial risk 
• Understanding and preparing for possible contract terminations
