Contracting Officer Podcast 2.0 (samples)

If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)

Kevin and Paul discuss FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting.  Learn why small businesses are generally required to perform the majority of the work themselves when awarded a contract under a small business set-aside.  (and when they’re not required to…)

This clause, and others like it, may not be an obvious requirement in the RFP.  The requirements it levies on the small business awardee can be the primary driver of your bid/no-bid decision.  Don’t be surprised by it!
