Event description
Limitations on Subcontracting (LoS) is one of the most confusing—and most enforced—rules in government contracting.
For small businesses and their teaming partners, getting it wrong can lead to serious consequences. And the challenge? You may be asked to prove compliance at any point—before, during, or after contract performance.
This training breaks down LoS in clear, practical terms so you can understand what’s required and how to stay compliant.
What You’ll Learn

- How LoS applies to set-aside and sole-source contracts

Why This Matters
