SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Government Furnished Property
DESCRIPTION:As a contractor to the Federal Government or a subcontractor to a prime contractor\, you may receive government property. Government property generally falls into one of several categories: (1) material; (2) special tooling; (3) test equipment; (4) property designed for military operations; and (5) facilities used for production\, maintenance\, research\, development\, or test purposes. \nThe contractor has defined obligations in the use and management of the property. An unfavorable assessment by the government of a contractor’s Property Management System may result in financial penalties. Also\, there are costs associated with government property management that must be considered by a prime or a subcontractor. \nThis webinar will cover:\n· Government Property clauses\n· How to apply the clauses\n· What tools/ processes must be in place before you are able to receive government property \nSpeaker: Benjamin Blanc\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.\nView a schedule of all upcoming Acquisition Hour webinars.
