Webinar - Beyond Commercial Item Contracting: A Two-part Primer on Negotiated Contracting Under FAR Part 15

PART 1: FAR Part 15 vs. FAR Part 12 – A New World of Risk

In tough economic times, many commercial companies attempt to maintain or grow revenues by securing contracts with the US Federal Government.  Commercial item contracting (Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”)) carries the least risk.  When stepping outside the commercial item arena and into the world of negotiated government contracting, unpleasant surprises await the unwary and unprepared.  Expectations of reasonable profits may ultimately yield real losses and latent liabilities. Rewards accrue to those who know beforehand what they’re getting into.  In this one-hour webinar, we will discuss:

• How the size of your company, contract value, and contract type govern the applicability of contract and regulatory compliance requirements;
• The essential prerequisites necessary to identify, manage and mitigate compliance risks successfully;
• The current state of the negotiated government contracting environment, including several hot topics every FAR Part 15 contractor must know.
