Recovering the Costs of COVID-19 Impacts and Delays

This presentation will discuss key legal, policy, and factual issues associated with federal contractors’ response and compensation for costs related to COVID-19. COVID-19 has had significant impacts on federal contractors and subcontractors who, in addition to dealing with the health and safety of their workforce, have faced supply shortages, closures, remote work requirements, government-mandated restrictions and stop-work orders, and a host of other challenges. Responding to these issues has caused contractors to incur significant additional costs which were often not priced in or anticipated in their bids for federal contracts. Contractors faced with these uncertain requirements, potential losses, and steep increases in costs as a result of recent events and government response likely have little in the way of past experiences to guide requesting compensation and equitable adjustments for unexpected COVID-19 costs. This webinar provides a general guide for federal contractors navigating the processes for recovering costs related to COVID-19, including:

• Federal policy concerning COVID-19 impacts on federal contractors.

• Strategies for recovering the costs of COVID-19 impacts and what to expect from the government.

• The operational steps federal contractors should take to maximize their potential recovery.

• The overall state of the law surrounding COVID-19 and federal contracts
