SUMMARY:Webinar: Estimating Systems – A Foundation for Compliance and Success\, March 20
DESCRIPTION:Building effective proposals is a core capability of successful government contractors and a key element of an effective proposal is its compliance with regulatory requirements. When submitting a bid on a government contract\, the contents of a proposal contain a contractor’s offer to perform work at a stated cost or price. The Government is increasingly evaluating proposals for compliance with cost and pricing data requirements\, cost realism\, commercial pricing disclosures\, and estimating system requirements. \nJoin the Coalition on March 20 as we host Chess Consulting’s Mike Tomaselli and David Dishmon\, who will discuss current actions being taken by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) to evaluate contractor estimating systems and walkthrough fundamental elements and practices for building compliant proposals. \nTo register for the webinar\, click here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Joint Ventures on the GSA Schedule: Understanding Unique Challenges and Risks\, April 24
DESCRIPTION:The Coalition is pleased to host a webinar on April 24 from 12:00 – 1:00 PM (ET) with guest presenters Jacelyn Ferriell\, Senior Manager\, Government Contracting\, Aprio and David S. Black\, Co-Chair\, National Government Contracts Team\, Holland & Knight LLP on Joint Ventures on the GSA Schedule: Understanding Unique Challenges and Risks.  \nJoint ventures are a hot structure for seeking a GSA Schedule\, but they are awkward and there is still a learning curve.  With the two-year bidding period for small business JVs limited to contracts but not task orders\, many M-P JVs and even all-small JVs are seeking GSA Schedule contracts because of the long ordering period that is not subject to the two-year bidding limitation.  While this presents a great opportunity\, there are several compliance risks for a JV that holds a GSA schedule.  When not fully understood these risks can potentially impact both the JV’s GSA schedule and GSA schedules held by individual JV members.  \nDuring the webinar\, they will address key hurdles and risks when a joint venture seeks and then holds a GSA Schedule. Topics to be discussed include:   \n\nGSA’s current policies and procedures addressing joint venture proposals for GSA MAS;  \nIssues regarding proposal pricing and the Commercial Sales Practices disclosure for the joint venture;  \nProduct considerations; and \nPrice Reductions Clause compliance and risk; and (5) best practices for compliance. \n\nTo register for the webinar\, click here.   \n

SUMMARY:The BIOSECURE Act’s Potential Impact on the Biotechnology Supply Chain\, July 10
DESCRIPTION:Taking a page out of playbook used to establish the framework that excludes products of certain Chinese telecommunications companies from the federal market (e.g.\, the “Huawei ban”)\, the BIOSECURE Act would prohibit the federal government from purchasing biotechnology equipment or services from certain “companies of concern.”  The Act does not stop there.  It would also prohibit Executive agencies from contracting with a company that would use biotechnology equipment or services from a “biotechnology company of concern” in the performance of a federal contract. \nPlease join the Coalition for a webinar on July 10 from 11:30am – 12:30pm EST as we host four attorneys from Hogan Lovells’ Global Regulatory practice. Partners Joy Sturm\, Mike Druckman\, Ajay Kuntamukkala\, and Tim Bergreen\, Senior Counsel\, will brief attendees on the latest regarding the BIOSECURE Act.  They will outline what contractors need to know about the Act\, including the key terminology\, scope\, and applicability\, and will speak to its implications within the biotechnology sector.  They will also speak about potential U.S. trade sanctions that could be applied to restrict business with companies of concern and others considered to pose a national security threat. Finally\, the team will discuss key compliance practices and steps companies can take to keep up with the evolving landscape impacting the biotechnology supply chain. \nTo register\, click here \nCANCELLATION POLICY\nAll cancellation requests for in-person and virtual registrations received prior to the official start date and time of the specific event or training in question will be issued a full refund.

SUMMARY:Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Plans: From Government Requirement to Competitive Differentiator
DESCRIPTION:In recent years federal contractors have been challenged to adapt their legal and compliance strategy to a growing regulatory focus on securing the federal supply chain.  In particular\, technology bans and restrictions have been used to mitigate data security and surveillance concerns associated with foreign information and communications technology (ICT) – imposing significant new due diligence measures over extended third-party ecosystems.  These kind of strict\, targeted prohibitions are expected to play a role in how the federal government manages supply chain risk moving forward. \nFurthermore\, recent bellwether federal procurements (GSA OASIS+\, GSA Alliant 3\, NASA SEWP VI\, ASTRO\, Polaris\, 8(a) STARS III\, and DISA DES\, to name just a few) have required offerors to disclose measures taken to assess and limit supply chain risk as part of contract award – providing a glimpse into the importance of Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as a contract award discriminator. \nFederal agencies and the government contractors that serve them will increasingly be obligated to know exactly where products\, components\, software and services are being sourced\, throughout all levels of an increasingly complex and global supply chain. Contractors can expect new standards and acquisition policies for SCRM programs in an effort to improve SCRM capabilities for the government and industry as a whole. \nPlease join the Coalition on August 14 from 12:00 – 1:00pm EST for this timely presentation as we host Baker Tilly’s Leo Alvarez\, Principal\, and Molly Menoni\, Senior Consultant\, as they discuss: \n\nRegulatory activity related to supply chain risk\nRecent supply chain-related security breaches\nBiden’s cyber and supply chain Executive Order\nFederal contract clause requirements related to supply chain oversight\n\n\nThe use of SCRM Plans in Key Federal Acquisitions\nHow an organization should evaluate its Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) practices\nThe use of all-source intelligence platforms (“Supply Chain Illumination”)\nPractical guidance on SCRM Plan preparation and structure
