Decoding the FAR Part 6 Rewrite: Implications for Small Business Contracting and the Rule of Two

The recent overhaul of FAR Part 6—governing competition requirements—raises important questions about the future of small business set-asides, especially the continued viability of the “Rule of Two” under FAR 19.502-2. Though many of the revisions appear structural, the removal of direct references to small business programs could signal a broader policy shift.

In this timely webinar, PilieroMazza’s Cy Alba decodes changes to FAR Part 6 and discusses their practical and legal implications. He’ll also cover key updates beyond Part 6, including the increase to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), changes to the Tribal 8(a) sole-source cap, and the bipartisan proposal to enshrine the Rule of Two in the Small Business Act.

This webinar will help you understand the current state of small business procurement policy—and what may be on the horizon.

Learning objectives include:

• Review the structural and policy-related revisions to FAR Part 6.
• Understand the status and future of the “Rule of Two.”
• Get up to speed on key regulatory updates.
