| Sep 19 Dealing with Government Contracting Officials |
| Interactions with federal Contracting Officers are part and parcel of government contracting, but many traps exist for the unwary. This presentation covers the “do’s” and “don’ts” of dealing with Contracting Officers, including proposal discussions/negotiations, change orders and directives, ethical rules and restrictions, and much more. Packed with real-life examples and practical tips, this seminar will leave government contractors better educated – and more confident – in their dealings with the government. Presented by Steven Koprince, Government Contracts & Small Business Law Attorney Pre-registration is required: http://www.ptassist.com/services/ptac_web_register.php?id=F2C2B52642 |
