Maximizing Teaming Under SBA's Joint Venture Rules


This event qualifies for 1.5 CPEs


In the last two years, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has made monumental changes to its regulations concerning the eligibility of joint ventures to compete on small business and status-based set-asides. These include major revisions to the 8(a) mentor-protégé program, creation of the “All Small Business” mentor-protégé program, and opening the door to joint ventures comprising multiple small businesses. Hear guidance on how contractors large and small can use the new rules to maximize their chances of winning contracts, the keys to drafting joint venture agreements that comply with the SBA regulations (and also make business sense), and takeaways from the first year of the new programs.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Gain a better understanding of SBA’s teaming regulations.
  • Learn the legal framework and key attributes of joint venture requirements.
  • Understand the guiding principles in establishing small business joint venture programs.
  • Learn how to comply with SBA teaming arrangement criteria.
