GovCon Procurement Reform & New Opportunities
May 21, 2026Federal agencies continue to push for faster, more flexible acquisition approaches to support mission needs, reshaping how contractors compete, price, and perform. This webinar will examine the current government contracting (GovCon) procurement reform environment, including regulatory streamlining efforts, expanded use of commercial practices, use of nontraditional defense contractors, and alternative contracting pathways. Participants will gain practical insights into how these reforms are creating new opportunities for both traditional and nontraditional contractors, while also introducing new compliance, pricing, and execution risks that need to be managed proactively.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Describe procurement reform initiatives shaping federal acquisition strategies and contractor engagement.
- Explain how reduced thresholds, commercial item authorities, use of nontraditional defense contractors, and alternative contracting vehicles are expanding market access.
- Discuss compliance, pricing, and audit considerations associated with faster and more flexible procurement models, including incurred cost proposal (ICP) considerations.
- Distinguish potential risks and opportunities for prime contractors and subcontractors operating under evolving acquisition frameworks.
- Apply practical strategies to help drive growth while maintaining compliance in a reform-driven environment.
