DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Format: Live webinar (on-demand recording available on April 9, 2026)\nDate: March 31, 2026\nTime: 1:00 p.m. EDT\nDuration: Approx. 90 minutes\nPresented by: Steven Koprince (Govology)\nLearning Credits: 1.5 CPEs, 1.5 ATCs\n*Your registration includes access to the on-demand recording.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”223484″ img_size=”200×100″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”shadow” border_width=”6″ accent_color=”#647385″][vc_column_text css=””]Could foreign ownership—even indirectly—put your contracts at risk?\nIf your company performs classified work, partners with foreign investors, has overseas affiliates, or is considering outside funding, Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) rules may apply to you.\nAnd the stakes are rising.\nIn 2026, the Department of War (DoW) is expected to release its “Section 847” rules, expanding FOCI principles to certain unclassified prime contracts and subcontracts valued at $5 million or more. As a result, companies that have never had to consider FOCI may soon need to do so.\nWhy This Matters for Contractors\nFOCI issues can:\n\nDelay or block contract awards\nPrevent access to classified work\nTrigger additional reporting and compliance requirements\nImpact eligibility for certain programs\n\nUnder Section 847, FOCI considerations may also extend further into the supply chain than many contractors expect.\nUnderstanding these rules before they affect your eligibility is far better than discovering them in the middle of an award process.\nWhat You’ll Learn\nIn this webinar, Govology Legal Analyst Steven Koprince breaks down FOCI in clear, practical terms, including:\n\nWhich federal contracts are subject to FOCI rules?\nHow will Section 847 apply FOCI principles to unclassified DoW contracts and subcontracts?\nHow does the government evaluate whether a contractor is operating under foreign ownership, influence, or control?\nWhat responsibilities does a contractor or potential contractor have to identify and report FOCI concerns?\nHow can a contractor mitigate an actual or potential FOCI problem?\nWhat are some common misconceptions about the FOCI rules?\nHow do FOCI concepts apply to the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs?\n\nWho Should Attend?\n\nContractors performing or pursuing classified work\nCompanies with foreign investors, parent companies, or affiliates\nSmall businesses seeking DoW prime or subcontract awards\nSBIR/STTR participants\nGrowth and compliance leaders monitoring regulatory risk\n\nIf your business touches defense, classified information, or international ownership in any way, this is an issue you can’t afford to misunderstand.\nThis session will help you identify potential exposure early and position your company to stay eligible and competitive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
