What, When, Where and How to Protest Federal Procurements
This seminar will provide a roadmap of the Federal procurement protest process,
discussing the working rules, procedures and substantive and procedural
requirements of the various protest forums - the agency, the General Accountability
Office, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the SBA. The preaward and
postaward debriefing rules in negotiated procurements will be discussed and
practical advice given on what, when, where and how to protest Federal
procurements.

Winning Strategies in Teaming for Federal Contracts: Teaming Agreements
Here’s a practical, understandable guide to the formation and enforcement of
teaming agreements in Federal procurements. It’s an in-depth discussion of the
ramifications to small businesses in such relationships as a prime or a sub. The
attendees will learn everything they need to know to enter into enforceable
teaming agreements in which their risks are minimized and oppressive clauses
are eliminated or diluted. Non-Disclosure Agreements will also be discussed.

Winning Strategies in Teaming for Federal Contracts: Subcontracts
You’ll gain from this practical seminar on the formation and performance of
subcontracts in Federal procurements, as a prime or a sub. Attendees will learn
everything they need to know about the Federal law, regulations and policies
which provide the framework for subcontracts. We’ll follow through from initial
subcontract formation, including contract terms and conditions, to subcontract
administration, performance, disputes, terminations, and claims resolution. You
will learn how to assess and minimize the risk factors involved in subcontracts,
avoid or dilute oppressive clauses, and protect your intellectual property and
proprietary data.

Federal Procurement Intellectual Property Rights
This course will first provide a brief overview of intellectual property law
(patents, copyrights, trade secrets), and then focus on rights in technical data
and computer software in civilian and DOD contracts. Strategies for protecting
intellectual property in Federal procurements will be covered, with advice on
how contractors may maximize the value of their technical data and effectively
license computer software.
