Event Announcement: GovCon Roundup Live, Teaming Agreements, April 15, 2026

We’d like to invite you to a great interactive virtual event coming up — and it’s completely free. 

On April 15th, Carroll Bernard and Steven Koprince are hosting Episode 9 of GovCon Roundup Live, and the topic is one that trips up contractors at every stage: teaming. Our very own, federal government contracts attorney, Nicole Pottroff, will be contributing her thoughts to the discussion.

Whether you’ve never heard the term or you’ve been navigating teaming agreements for years, this session will give you something useful. 

Here’s what they will cover:

  • What teaming really means in the federal marketplace and why agencies love it
  • The most common teaming structures — prime/sub arrangements and joint ventures — and when each one makes sense
  • Why contractors are willing to take on the complexity of joint ventures (and what they get in return)
  • How teaming opens the door to larger contracts, stronger proposals, and new markets
  • The SBA Mentor-Protégé Program — including a little-known rule exemption that gives small businesses a real competitive edge

Bring your questions to the live Q&A at the end of the show. Register here.
