Medical Supply Chains: Questions Companies are Asking and Evolving Government Actions in the Aftermath of COVID-19

Webinar | 06.24.20, 7:00 AM EDT - 8:00 AM EDT

Register

Supply chains have been upended in the wake of COVID-19. Companies have configured medical supply chains for cost, efficiency and competitive advantage. Governments are challenging these assumptions. U.S. officials have called for “re-shoring” supply chains, using new tariffs and subsidies for medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and PPE. American, European and Asian governments are looking to use their purchasing power, new laws and regulations, and trade agreements to alter global supply relationships. This webinar will provide insights across a series of topics, including:


  • What does “resiliency” mean for supply chains in the COVID-19?;
  • Export restrictions imposed as a consequence of COVID-19;
  • Prospects for nationalizing production and procurement requirements;
  • Possible subsidies and tax incentives for “re-shoring” efforts;
  • Regulatory barriers and obstacles to reconfiguration; 
  • Trusted trading partner supply chain networks; and
  • The role of national and international institutions.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
