(Recorded Webinar) Government Contracts for Grantees

Duration: 75 minutes
Recorded on: 2/23/2023

Nonprofits are an important part of service delivery and innovation in the public sector, providing the skills, labor, and dedication needed to carryout federal programs, from health care, to conservation, to research.  Often familiar with financial assistance agreements (grants and cooperative agreements), it is not long before successful nonprofits encounter federal initiatives that are implemented through federal procurement contracts governed by the federal acquisition regulation (“FAR”).  Somewhat surprisingly, the compliance requirements of FAR-based contracts differ in important ways from those applicable under grants and cooperative agreements, as do opportunities to set one’s organization apart in the competitive award process.  In this webinar, Feldesman attorney Scott S. Sheffler will provide an introduction to government contracts from the perspective of nonprofits already successfully carrying out grant-funded projects.

  • Introduction to the FAR (system, clauses, role of CO and COTR)
  • You can, and are generally expected to, earn profit (what an awesome feature – don’t underprice)
  • The prime-sub system under the FAR
  • Service contracts
  • Small business programs (and briefly considerations for creating a for profit subsidiary)
  • Key public policy compliance considerations (SCA, labor policy reqs, [other])
  • Disputes (you also have dispute rights – another awesome feature)

Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Federal Grants Training Members. For more information on our Federal Grants Training Membership, click here or contact us.
