18 1. Small Business B. SBA Final Rule on Mentor-Protégé Program Joint Ventures (contd.)

19 1. Small Business B. SBA Final Rule on Mentor-Protégé Program Effects of New Rule Potential huge impact on the small business community Possible backlog of new applicants with expanded program SBA set up new unit within Office of Business Development solely tasked with reviewing and approving M-P Agreements Could use open enrollment periods if necessary to deal with large influx of applications Practical Note: Get in line at SBA! Page 19
20 1. Small Business C. Women-owned small businesses ( WOSB ) and economically-disadvantaged women-owned small businesses ( EDWOSB ) Issues Final rule (80 Fed.

21 1. Small Business C. Women-owned small businesses ( WOSB ) and economically-disadvantaged women-owned small businesses ( EDWOSB ) Issues Section 825 of 2015 NDAA removes ability for WOSB and EDWOSB to self-certify for set-aside contracts Conflicting with the statute, SBA still encouraging selfcertification with the release of a new web portal to assist in the self-certification process During legal uncertainty of SBA s actions, better to have third party certification Page 21
22 2. Labor A. Final Rule on Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces 81 Fed. Reg. 58,562 (August 25, 2016) DOL guidance (81 Fed. Reg. 58,654 (April 25, 2016) 2014 Executive Order issued Applies to covered contracts and subcontracts (in excess of $500,000) Pre-award requirement to disclose (in proposal) violations of certain labor laws in the last three years, including administrative determinations and arbitration awards Creates new Government position (Agency Labor Compliance Advisor or ALCA ) CO required to consult with ALCA as part of responsibility determination Page 22
23 2. Labor A. Final Rule on Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order issued 2014 (Contd.)

26 2. Labor A. Final Rule on Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Bottom line Huge compliance effort Possible lawsuit to enjoin rule and Congressional response House and Senate passed versions of 2017 NDAA Bills to exempt defense contractors Could be removed by Conference Committee (probably will not be resolved before election) Practical Tip: Identify now in-house person to set up compliance system for proposals, on-going contracts and subcontractor compliance Page 26
27 2. Labor A. Final Rule on Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Effective date: October 25, 2016 DOL pre-assessment process starts September 25, 2016 (contractors can submit violation history and DOL will advise contractor if track record for violations (including how violations were addressed) is satisfactory) Page 27

36 3. Cybersecurity A. Final Rule: Basic Safeguarding of Contractor Information Systems 81 Fed. Reg. 30,439 (May 16, 2016) (Effective June 15, 2016) Designed to outline basic network safeguards and standardize rudimentary security procedures Page 36
37 3. Cybersecurity A. FAR Final Rule: Basic Safeguarding of Contractor Information Systems New clause (FAR ) in solicitations and contracts when the contractor or subcontractor at any tier may have Federal contract information ( FCI ) residing in or transiting through its information system. Federal Contract Information: non-public information provided by or developed for the Government in connection to the contract, excluding simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payment. Page 37
38 3. Cybersecurity A. FAR Final Rule: Basic Safeguarding of Contractor Information Systems Requires compliance with 15 basic safeguarding measures Includes: physical security and access monitoring, network scanning, periodic updates of malicious code protection mechanisms, sanitize/destroy media before disposal, maintain policies for limiting system access to appropriate users, limit connections to and use of external systems New requirements are in addition to any other pre-existing requirement(s) for information security or protection of classified material Page 38
39 3. Cybersecurity B. DFARS Interim Rule Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting 80 Fed. Reg. 81,472 (December 30, 2015) (effective same day) Amended previous interim rule extending date of full compliance for contractors to December 31, 2017 Page 39

DFARS Interim Rule Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting DFARS expanded to include all covered defense information Covered Defense Information ( CDI ): controlled technical information, critical information, export controlled information, or any information that law or policy requires safeguarding or controls very broad, encompasses most contracts Must comply with security requirements outlined in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP Page 40
41 3. Cybersecurity B. DFARS Interim Rule Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting DFARS clause also includes requirement that contractors must report incidents within 72 hours Reportable incidents involve compromise of CDI, covered contractor systems, or actions that limit the ability to perform operationally critical support Contractor should register for a DoD-approved medium assurance certificate for incident reporting (see Page 41
42 3. Cybersecurity B. DFARS Interim Rule Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting Clause must be flowed down to subcontractors handling CDI Contractor must report to DoD within 30 days of any non-compliance with new security requirements and what substitute measures are in place Full compliance mandated no later than December 31, 2017 Page 42
43 3. Cybersecurity C. DFARS-FAR Clauses Relationship FAR clause provides basic requirements for almost any government information stored and processed by a contractor DFARS clause only covers CDI FAR clause explicitly states it is not to diminish other more stringent security requirements acts as a supplement Both clauses will likely be included CO should make known use of CDI early in the process Both clauses are required to be flowed down to subcontractors Page 43
44 3. Cybersecurity D. Potential Contractor Liability for Non- Compliance False Claims Act ( FCA ) Liability Recent Supreme Court decision* made it easier to incur FCA liability when non-compliant with cybersecurity measures Could be liable even when not making an express certification but knowingly fails to disclose... noncompliance with a statutory, regulatory, or contractual requirement. Breach of Contract Liability *Universal Health Servs. v. United States ex rel. Escobar, 136 S. Ct (2016) Page 44
45 3. Cybersecurity F. Future Developments Constantly changing and high-profile area Take steps to comply early with new requirements Know what requirements apply and properly flow down to subcontractors Expect more regulations in the near future Communicate openly with the government about cybersecurity compliance Page 45
