In this special 90 min installment of the M&E GovCon webinar series, M&E GovCon partner Maria Panichelli provides contractors with an overview of everything they need to know about teaming and subcontracting on federal projects, from both a prime and subcontractor point of view. As a threshold matter, attendees will learn the differences between teaming and subcontracting, why both types of agreements can be essential, and when in the procurement timeline each is used. Then, focusing on successful teaming, Maria explains the proper considerations and procedures for entering into an enforceable teaming agreement and the essential clauses to include in these types of agreements, as well as common pitfalls to avoid. Turning next to subcontracting, Maria explains how to successfully navigate some of the biggest subcontracting issues from both the prime contractor and subcontractor points of view. She discusses flow-down clauses, subcontractor pass-through claims, sub vs. prime dispute resolution and key strategies to minimize risk. Finally, she touches on some the most common subcontracting mistakes made by subs and primes in federal contracting, and how to avoid them.
