Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Affordable Care Act as a Government Contractor
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) imposes significant compliance and cost challenges for employers generally, but especially those for those employers contracting with the federal government. This webinar will focus on the unique challenges facing government contractors in complying with various aspects of the health reform law, including what is commonly referred to as the Act’s employer mandate or “pay or play” provisions. The webinar will also discuss strategies that may be available to contractors to assist them in complying with the new rules, as well as controlling costs, including those costs arising under a respective contract or otherwise.
Internal Investigations: What Every Contractor Needs to Know
There are two fundamental foundations of corporate integrity: (1) complete and honest reporting, and (2) compliance with laws and ethical standards. In this 90-minute webinar, learn why an internal investigation is one of the most important management tools that can be used to ensure corporate integrity and how they can be used to ferret out potential violations as soon as possible.
Navigating the GSA Schedule System
The GSA Multiple Award Schedules Program is one of the most widely used federal contract vehicles and may also be used by state and local governments to purchase commercial services and products. These contracts continue to be the go-to source for federal buying, with almost $40B in sales in FY12, and are a common point of entry for commercial and emerging companies new to federal contracting. However, many myths still exist about the Schedules Program and the reality of getting a GSA Schedule contract awarded has changed significantly over the last few years. Pursuing any government contract is an investment of resources, so make sure you are armed with the knowledge you need to be successful, especially because a GSA Schedule contract can ultimately be a 20-year commitment.
Practical Legal Guidelines for Contracting with the Federal Government
Experts from the law firm of Husch Blackwell will provide an overview of federal government contracting. This course focuses on the unique aspects of federal contracts that differ from those in the private sector, from how the government awards and administers contracts to the procedures for resolving claims and disputes.
This 90-minute webinar will also cover contractor strategies for minimizing the impact of budget cuts under sequestration, including the scope of the contractor’s right to be paid even after appropriations have been exhausted and the limits on the government’s rights to terminate contracts for convenience.
