The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has recently proposed rule changes in the Federal Register that could weaken small business joint ventures (JVs) and potentially remove the affiliation exemption benefit provided by the SBA’s Mentor-Protégé Program. If implemented, these changes could greatly impact how businesses leverage these vital tools to compete, gain experience, build past performance, and meet the requirements for securing major government contracts, including Indefinite Delivery Contract Vehicles.

In our upcoming GovCon Coffee & Issues show, we’ll be joined by Steven Koprince, Govology Legal Analyst, Faculty Instructor, and former GovCon attorney. Steven will break down the details of these proposed changes, explain their potential impact on your business, clear up any confusion, and offer practical advice on how you can voice your concerns to the SBA before the crucial comment deadline on October 7th.

Whether you’re already engaged in joint ventures or the Mentor-Protégé Program or considering them to boost your chances of success in the government marketplace, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Join us live on October 1st to participate in the post-show Q&A, where you’ll have the chance to ask Steven your questions directly.
