Who’s the regulator? What’s the rule?: Navigating the Regulatory Alphabet Soup

In this session, Cheryl Falvey breaks down the regulatory roles and rules at play, and recent enforcement actions taken by Food and Drug Administration, Federal Trade Commission, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on products marketed as COVID-19 disinfectants and personal protective equipment among others.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
