Protecting American Innovation: Safeguarding US Government Acquisition and Research Programs
Federal acquisition is under pressure from two directions at once: adversarial nations are actively exploiting gaps in how agencies screen suppliers, while Congress has responded with the most significant procurement reforms in years — including tighter foreign adversary restrictions and new supply chain visibility mandates in the FY26 NDAA. The rules are changing fast, and the stakes for getting due diligence wrong have never been higher.
In this 45 minute webinar, you'll learn:
- How foreign adversaries exploit gaps in federal vendor screening and the broader acquisition ecosystem
- Practical frameworks to identify foreign ownership and influence risks early in the acquisition lifecycle
- The shift from reactive screening to proactive risk identification, and the tools enabling it
- How to build a defensible, repeatable due diligence process your agency can stand behind
