Navigating a government shutdown doesn’t have to derail your small business, performance, or cash flow. This podcast provides the essential playbook for protecting federal contracts when payments get delayed and confusion reigns.
Specifically designed for small and mid-sized government contractors, including those utilizing 8a certification services, women owned small business certification, or disabled veteran government contracts, we dive into the proactive steps you must take before things go off the rails. You'll learn how to confirm the funding status of each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), why continuing to work without confirmation could violate the Antideficiency Act, and how to prepare detailed Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REA) to recover costs under relevant FAR clauses.
We emphasize using tools like a Shutdown Impact Log to track idle labor, delayed deliveries, and Contracting Officer (CO) correspondence, and adopting CPARS protection strategies to demonstrate that delays were government-caused and excusable. Contractors who weather shutdowns successfully are prepared, they communicate, they document, and they mitigate damage.
