This Pre-Summit activity will discuss new legislation and regulations concerning small businesses, their impact and how the US Small Business Administration will administer, implement and oversee these changes throughout the Department of Defense and civilian agencies. The SBA will cover small business contracting provisions enacted into law through the NDAA 2019 and subsequent legislation, including the Small Business Runway Extension Act.  We will discuss upcoming and in-process SBA and FAR rules concerning the women-owned small business program, HUBZone program, size standards, limitations on subcontracting, the 8(a) program, and multiple-award contracts.

These discussions are meant to be informative and interactive, and will provide a clear understanding of how legislation and regulations will impact small businesses both in the set-aside programs and the socio-economic programs. This is not a “how to” session about certification in small business and socio-economic programs. Rather, it is a higher level discussion of the impact of new legislation and regulations on small businesses, and on large businesses with small business utilization requirements.

WHEN.  October 23, 2019 from 1400-1700

WHERE.  Cape Fear Community College, 411 N. Front Street (for the campus), Wilmington, North Carolina.  This meeting will be held in the McLeod Building (building “S” on the campus map), Room #S-002, Lecture Auditorium.
