Game Changers for Government Contractors: Understanding the Small Business Rule of Two

Thanks to Michael LeJeune for hosting me on his podcast, Game Changers for Government Contractors. It’s always great talking to Michael and this is a very pertinent topic for a lot of contractors. The Rule of Two is undergoing some changes in proposed rules and federal contractors need to be aware of those changes. In this episode, I discuss what the Rule of Two is, how it impacts small business set-asides, and the recent changes affecting task orders under multiple award contracts (MACs). We also discuss valuable insights on the differences between the SBA’s Rule of Two and the VA’s version, key exceptions, and how small businesses can respond if they see non-compliant procurements. If you’re a small business looking to leverage the Rule of Two to win more contracts, this episode is packed with actionable strategies and expert advice to help you navigate these changes effectively.

How Joint Ventures Really Work: My “Game Changers” Podcast

Ah, joint ventures.  Few topics in government contracting these days seem to cause as much confusion.  And that’s due, in large part, to some common misunderstandings I hear repeated over and over.

Recently, I joined host Michael LeJeune on the “Game Changers” podcast to talk about some of the most common areas of confusion regarding joint ventures.  What is the relationship between joint ventures and the SBA’s new All-Small Mentor-Protege Program?  How do the rules for joint venture work share operate?  What are some frequent mistakes companies make when they draft joint venture agreements?  And so on.
