Roundtable Discussion on the Midterm Election
Webinar | 12.14.22, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST
With the midterm elections (mostly) behind us, Congress is working through a list of must-pass items in the remaining days of the 117th Congress. Heading into the new divided Congress in 2023, with the narrowest Senate majority and House leadership not yet decided, we anticipate a move away from the Speaker-dominant House leadership model with small factions and individual members trying to exert influence over the agenda. We will discuss how razor-thin margins in both Congressional Chambers sets up a dynamic whereby President Biden and both parties in Congress will be motivated to find some common ground on legislation during the lame duck session and in the next two years. We will also provide insights into some key committees and issues that will be top priorities in the next Congress.

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.
