About the event
The Administration recently announced plans to increase contracting with small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) by 50% in the coming years. But this increased emphasis on SDB contracting is likely to come with additional enforcement, including new SDB status protests, making it critical for a contractor to understand whether their business is eligible to self-certify as an SDB.
In this webinar, government contracts legal analyst Steven Koprince explains the SDB eligibility requirements in plain English, including ownership, control, social disadvantage, economic disadvantage, and more. Don’t click the “SDB” box in SAM until you attend this session!
