SUMMARY:Understanding the Defense Production Act
DESCRIPTION: Tracing its origins to the Korean War\, the Defense Production Act (“DPA”) is a collection of economic controls that may be used by the President to marshal America’s private sector resources for national defense. Under Title I\, the President may compel federal contracting participation and prioritization\, as well as allocate resources to rapidly mobilize America’s industrial might for national emergencies. Title III provides tools and resources to strengthen the industrial base to ensure it is robust enough to support national defense activities at a moment’s notice.   \n\n\n\nIn this webinar Ian Patterson will discuss the unique contacting powers of the DPA\, as well as the opportunities that exist for businesses under Title III.

SUMMARY:Increasing Competitiveness Through Mentor/Protégés\, Joint Ventures\, and Teaming
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that federal government contract awards are hard to earn. This is becoming truer and truer as Uncle Sam continues to consolidate awards. \n\n\n\nIn this age of consolidated contracts and increased competition\, small business contractors must take every advantage to best position themselves for award. Thankfully\, there are tools a small business can use to become more competitive: SBA’s and DoD’s mentor/protégé programs and through small business joint ventures or teaming.

SUMMARY:SBA’s Socioeconomic Programs: Getting a Leg-Up in Federal Contracting
DESCRIPTION:SBA’s socioeconomic contracting programs can be a boon for small businesses. As an 8(a) Program participant\, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business\, a woman-owned small business\, or a HUBZone company\, small businesses can take advantage of set-aside and sole-source contract opportunities. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, government contracts attorney Matthew Schoonover will discuss the basics of each program\, including eligibility criteria and benefits available to participants. Matt will also discuss the upcoming consolidation of the government’s SDVOSB contracting programs and how that might impact your veteran-owned business. \n\n\n\nWhen pursuing federal contract opportunities\, it’s important for small businesses to take advantage of every benefit available to them. Learning about and leveraging SBA’s socioeconomic programs is a great tool to increase your business’s competitiveness.

SUMMARY:FOCI: Foreign Ownership\, Control\, or Influence in Federal Contracting
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 National Defense Authorization Act instructed the Department of Defense (“DoD”) to improve reporting by contractors and subcontractors. The objective was to improve reporting and mitigation efforts to prevent foreign ownership from using the contracting base to obtain state secretes. The DoD complied with this mandate by publishing a new regulation establishing reporting requirements and possible mitigation measures.
