Crowell & Moring is offering a two-part webinar series for government contractors on past and anticipated developments in procurement statues and regulations concerning small businesses.  


The federal procurement system provides benefits for small and disadvantaged businesses, such as the ability to compete for set-aside procurements, receive sole-source awards, and access assistance through such programs as the 8(a) Business Development Program or the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Mentor-Protégé Program.  The statutes and complex rules and regulations governing this system have recently undergone many important changes—as Crowell has previously addressed in blog posts covering SBA’s rulemaking on the consolidation of its mentor-protégé programs and the SBA Rule implementing a one-year extension for 8(a) BD status—with more changes anticipated this year as required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.  


Crowell is offering two webinars for different target audiences in which we will discuss the same recent and coming changes—but one will be crafted for small businesses and one for other-than-small contractors. 


The second webinar is for any other-than-small businesses who interact with small businesses within the federal procurement system—whether as a mentor, joint venture member, prime contractor reporting small business spend against a small business subcontracting plan, subcontractor to a small business under a set-aside award, and/or an acquirer of a business that holds set-aside contracts. Crowell will provide practical advice about how the recent and coming changes to the small business rules and regulations impact these types of other-than-small contractors. We will address the compliance risks faced that other-than-small contractors face in this space and how government agencies and relators have increasingly focused False Claims Act and enforcement efforts for violations of small business rules at other-than-small contractors.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
