Socioeconomic Policies and Domestic Preference Restrictions

Centre Law possesses decades of experience in enabling clients to navigate the complex socioeconomic policies and domestic preference restrictions regulating federal government contracts. Because of its expertise, Centre’s professional staff is often called upon to speak at regional and national conferences on these subject areas.

In recent months, Centre has assisted its clients in saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in civil penalties by:

• Preventing violations of the Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act by ensuring that a client’s GSA schedule complied with domestic preference restrictions.

• Defending a client from debarment for violation of the Service Contract Act in proceedings before the Department of Labor Administrative Review Board.

• Completing compliance reviews of companies’ internal practices to ensure compliance with the Service Contract Act.

• Assisting businesses in developing adequate equal employment opportunity internal policies.

• Helping non-small businesses in forming small business subcontracting plans.

Being a Government contractor is not just about meeting contract requirements. It’s also about mastering the complex federal rules and regulations in place for public policy reasons.
