In the competitive federal marketplace, certain contracting opportunities are accessible only to businesses with a Facility Security Clearance (FCL). Obtaining an FCL can be a game-changer, opening doors to a wide range of contracts and giving your company a distinct advantage.
Join us for this essential training session, where Steven Koprince (Govology) will walk you through the FCL process from start to finish. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the requirements, eligibility factors, and step-by-step procedures needed to secure an FCL for your business.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding FCL Sponsorship: Overcome the “chicken-and-egg” sponsorship conundrum.
- Eligibility Factors: Learn the big-picture requirements for FCLs.
- Facility Security Officers (FSOs): Discover the role of FSOs in maintaining clearance compliance.
- Application Process: An overview of the FCL application journey.
- Required Documentation: Key documents you’ll need to prepare.
- DCSA Site Visits: What to expect and how to prepare for these critical inspections.
- FOCI and Mitigation: Navigate Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence requirements.
- Maintaining Your FCL: Best practices for ongoing compliance.
- Special SBA Joint Venture Rules: Understand how FCL rules apply to SBA joint ventures.
Don’t miss this opportunity to empower your business with the knowledge to secure and maintain an FCL, expanding your eligibility for lucrative government contracts!
Target Audience: Federal government contractors without FCLs. This training is particularly relevant to small businesses because large businesses typically already have FCLs.
