Govology Webinar Announcement! The Concept of “Responsibility” in Government Contracting (2025 Update), March 6, 1:00pm EST

Posted on by

Winning a government contract requires more than just submitting the best proposal—your company must also be deemed “responsible” by the federal government. Responsibility in government contracting goes beyond technical capabilities and pricing; it encompasses financial stability, past performance, ethics, compliance with laws, security clearances, and overall business integrity. Failure to meet responsibility requirements can lead to a contract award being denied, even if a company submits the most competitive bid.

In this webinar, government contracts attorneys, Nicole Pottroff and Stephanie Ellis of Koprince McCall Pottroff LLC, will provide a comprehensive breakdown of responsibility determinations and what they mean for government contractors. You’ll gain insights into how contracting officers evaluate responsibility, what documentation and evidence contractors can provide to strengthen their case, and key actions businesses should take to avoid responsibility-related issues. 

Additionally, this session will explore the special rights that small businesses have to challenge negative responsibility determinations through the SBA’s Certificate of Competency (COC) process. Understanding how and when to leverage this option can be the difference between losing a contract and securing a valuable government opportunity.

Whether you’re a new contractor or an experienced one looking to solidify your compliance and competitiveness, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to meet responsibility requirements and position your company for long-term success in the federal marketplace.
