Government Contracts: A Practical Guide in the Post-COVID Era.
While more and more Americans are getting vaccinated and COVID-19 infection rates are now ebbing, the pandemic’s impact on government contracting continues. Uncertainty still looms for contractors as the government pushes for new and pending policies and regulatory changes. Among the administration’s current procurement policy priorities are increased production of important products via the Defense Production Act of 1950 (DPA), intensified labor law enforcement, and contractor compliance with cybersecurity requirements.
These notable developments further underscore the need for government contractors to keep themselves in the loop of present and new rules.
In this webcast, leading consultant Rob McDonald from Berkeley Research Group’s (BRG) Government Contracts Consulting Practice, will provide an in-depth analysis of the current and emerging regulatory trends in government contracting. He will also share practical tips and best practices in addressing common compliance pitfalls in today’s post-COVID world.
