For government contractors, changes to the procurement regulations – the Federal Acquisition Regulation and DFARS in particular – are extremely important and can have major impacts on their business. Our webinars help you take the guesswork out of understanding and managing updates to the major procurement regulations by clearly and concisely breaking down complex regulations into manageable 90 minute courses.

This 90-minute webinar will discuss recent regulatory developments under the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”), an anticipated SBA final rule regarding small business subcontracting plans, and a recent proposed rule related to small business status and size protest and appeals procedures. The webinar will cover recent expansion of the SBA’s 8(a) mentor-protégé program to all small businesses, including a conformance process for non-DoD agency-level mentor-protégé programs. It will also address key developments related to calculation of the limitations on subcontracting. Sources of increased penalties, reporting mechanisms, and government oversight will also be discussed. The webinar will also explore some proposed changes to the FAR provisions on size and status protest and appeal procedures and changes to the nonmanufacturer rule in order to mirror previous regulatory changes.
