Abstract


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 a LIVE Webcast, leading consultants Ryan D. Byrd and Rob McDonald, both 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. Speakers will also share practical tips and best practices in addressing common compliance pitfalls in today’s post-COVID world.

Key topics include:


• Government Contracting – Recent Trends and Developments


• New Challenges and Red Flags


• Biden’s New Procurement Policy Priorities


• Compliance Tips and Strategies in a Post-COVID World


• A Regulatory Outlook
