1. Virtual Live Event:

• Date: Monday, May 11, 2026
• Platform: Live broadcast on Microsoft Teams
• Details: In addition to our planned briefings, there will be a live Q&A session. All questions and answers will be posted to SAM.gov.

2. One-on-One Sessions:

• Dates: Afternoon of Monday, May 11, through the afternoon of Friday, May 15, 2026
• Details: As requested, we are offering virtual one-on-one meetings with our acquisition staff.

Registration is required for both events.

This series is designed to provide valuable insights for small business owners, acquisition professionals, and other stakeholders engaged in government contracting.

Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI)

Foreign investment can play an important role in maintaining the vitality of the U.S. industrial base. Therefore, it’s the policy of the U.S. Government to allow foreign investment consistent with the national security interest of the United States. A company is considered to be operating under FOCI whenever a foreign interest has the power, direct or indirect, whether or not exercised, and whether or not exercisable, to direct or decide matters affecting the management or operations of that company in a manner which may result in unauthorized access to classified information or may adversely affect the performance of classified contracts.
