Sea Changes: Riding the Wave in Public Procurement

WelcomeDear Colleagues:

It’s that time of year again! Beginning March 9–12, 2016, distinguished panelists from government, industry, private law practice and academia will convene at the Loews Hotel in Annapolis, Maryland to participate in the 22nd Annual Federal Procurement Institute (FPI) jointly sponsored by the ABA Section of Public Contract Law and the Federal Bar Association Government Contracts Section. The Section’s flagship program will focus on the significant federal procurement developments over the past year and provide valuable insight to chart the course ahead.

The upcoming FPI, Sea Changes in Public Procurement, will commence Wednesday, March 9th with an Optional Practicum session on negotiating key terms for federal procurement subcontracts. The full two-day FPI plenary sessions on Thursday and Friday, March 10th–11th, will include sessions on:~ Supply chain risks/counterfeit parts: Emerging best practices on compliance, reporting and cooperation;~ Fraud issues: Navigating the government’s coordination of fraud remedies in today’s FCA environment;~ The Judges’ perspective: Examining the latest jurisdictional issues, federal circuit (in)action, changing

dockets and other litigation concerns; ~ Employment law changes affecting government contractors: Proposed rules on fair pay and safe workplaces,

and final rules on paid sick leave, minimum wage, pay transparency, gender identity, and more;~ Cybersecurity: Updates on the insider and outsider risks and implementation measures to secure the Federal

supply chain from today’s cyber threats;~ Analyzing Acquisition Reform: Emerging issues in light of new agency initiatives, government

indemnification authority under Public Law 85-804, and new rules for information technology and cybersecurity contracting;

~ Bid Protests: GAO and Court of Claims perspectives on bid protests, corrective actions, and emerging trends~ Ethics: Ethical implications of advancing frivolous claims, deception during settlement negotiations, duty to

disclose unfavorable facts, and disqualification of judges; ~ An optional Construction Luncheon Program: Navigating the claim preparation to settlement process,

including strategies and tactics used to analyze claims and spot red flags;

In addition, multiple networking opportunities include sponsored receptions each evening, “No-Host” Lunch and Dinners, and a Section Fellows Dinner.

The FPI offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the varying perspectives and reasoning of positions taken by the public contract community’s stakeholders by engaging the panelists and your fellow participants in a spirited exchange of ideas throughout the two-day institute and the multiple networking events scheduled throughout the program.

The opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow public contract professionals continues on Saturday, March 12, where our Section Council will meet in open session to discuss action and information on legislation, regulations, and other current issues important to government contracts practitioners.

We look forward to seeing you at the Federal Procurement Institute in Annapolis.
