GACO seminar to cover subcontracting topics
CALIFORNIA – California University of Pennsylvania’s Government Agency Coordination Office will sponsor a seminar entitled “Prime and Subcontractor Relationships” from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday at the Cal U. Convocation Center’s south conference wing.
The seminar is designed to provide training to businesses in pursuing subcontracting opportunities.
Large businesses receiving federal government contracts valued at more than $700,000 (except construction, which is $1.5 million) are required to develop plans and goals for subcontracting with small businesses.
The free seminar will feature topics to be addressed by Patrick Bearjar and Christopher Weir from Wessel & Co. and include: Why Would a Prime or Small Business Subcontract; Subcontracting Risks; Government’s Need for Subcontracting Oversight; Flow-down Provisions; Subcontract Considerations; Subcontract Management “The Realities”; Consent to Subcontract – Best Practices; Teaming Arrangements (FAR 9.6); and Teaming Agreements.
Donna Chapel, president, Advanced Integration Group, will discuss a small business perspective on subcontracting. Also featured will be a panel of prime contractors about the types of suppliers they are seeking and what companies need to know to become their subcontractor.
