Click Here to Learn About PCI's discounted Bundle to Access 6 Different Webinar and Virtual Class Series

Summary

Pillsbury and PCI will bring back the inaugural topic of the Supply Chain Symposium in January 2017. During this webinar, attendees will learn the mandatory flowdown clauses that apply in the non-commercial item, the commercial item, the construction, and the service contract setting. The information will be updated to include all changes as of December 31, 2016. Our faculty will compare and contrast Uniform Commercial Code provisions with their counterpart provisions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and FAR Part 12. We will recommend FAR clauses that you should consider flowing down, even though they are not mandatory. Further, we will teach an updated case study which will underscore the importance of choosing precise and careful subcontract terms.

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees will learn the mandatory FAR flowdowns applicable to each type of subcontract as of December 31, 2016
• Attendees will hear advice on sources other than the FAR to derive terms and conditions that are not mandatory
• Attendees will develop a better understanding of how to mitigate risk in their negotiation and performance of prime contracts and subcontracts
• Attendees will learn best practices in choosing language for limitation of liability and indemnity provisions
