GOVOLOGY: The Concept of “Responsibility” in Government Contracting
March 6 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
USE CODE 52VBOCR20 WHEN YOU REGISTER!
Winning a government contract requires more than just submitting the best proposal—your company must also be deemed “responsible” by the federal government. Responsibility in government contracting goes beyond technical capabilities and pricing; it encompasses financial stability, past performance, ethics, compliance with laws, security clearances, and overall business integrity. Failure to meet responsibility requirements can lead to a contract award being denied, even if a company submits the most competitive bid.
Additionally, this session will explore the special rights that small businesses have to challenge negative responsibility determinations through the SBA’s Certificate of Competency (COC) process. Understanding how and when to leverage this option can be the difference between losing a contract and securing a valuable government opportunity.
