SUMMARY:GOVOLOGY: Understanding the Berry Amendment\, GOVOLOGY: Buy American Act (BAA)\, Trade Agreements\, and the Nonmanufacturer Rule
DESCRIPTION:USE CODE 52VBOCR20 WHEN YOU REGISTER! \nWhether you’re new to government sales or have been selling to federal agencies and the Department of Defense for years\, the landscape is changing. For the past 60 years\, the United States has increasingly outsourced and offshored manufacturing—but that’s shifting. Today\, government statutes and regulations are moving toward rebuilding a more domestic supply chain. \nWith the rise of strategic sourcing and category management\, it’s critical to understand how the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) apply to both full and open competitions and set-aside procurements. For example\, as of October 2023\, the domestic component threshold increased to 65%. If your company has been selling to the government for years\, these updated regulations may affect your competitiveness and market share. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:GOVOLOGY: Evolving DoD Contractor Cybersecurity Requirements
DESCRIPTION:USE CODE 52VBOCR20 WHEN YOU REGISTER! \nThe United States’ adversaries are actively stealing the country’s military and industrial competitive advantage. Ubiquitous access to every organization’s multi-interconnected information systems facilitates this theft. The US Federal government recognizes the risk of theft and sensitive information from its contractors’ information systems\, such as Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Therefore\, all Federal contractors have certain basic cybersecurity requirements they must implement in their internal information technology (IT) systems that process Federal contract-related data. \nAdditionally\, contractors that process information related to the Department of Defense contracts are beholden to DFARS clauses 252.204-7012 / 7019 / 7020 / 7021\, which requires more advanced cybersecurity safeguards. These safeguards are a challenge for any organization of any size to implement. \nIn this webinar\, Adam Austin\, Co-Founder\, Cybersecurity Lead\, and CTO of Totem Technologies\, will give an overview of these requirements in layperson’s terms\, describe some of the implementation challenges\, and provide resources that you can use to navigate the cybersecurity landscape. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:GOVOLOGY: Small Business Size Standards and Affiliation: Lessons for Every Federal Contractor
DESCRIPTION:USE CODE 52VBOCR20 WHEN YOU REGISTER! \nFor small business set-aside contracts\, including socioeconomic set-asides like the 8(a) program\, a federal contractor must meet the SBA’s size standards. These size standards vary by industry and solicitation and are based on either average annual receipts or the number of employees. But size alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Many small businesses are surprised to learn that they could be deemed affiliated with other entities based on factors such as ownership\, management\, family relationships\, or subcontracting. If the SBA finds companies affiliated\, it will combine the receipts or employees of the various companies\, which can disqualify a company from small business programs. \nREGISTER HERE
