Competing in GovCon 2026: Entry Paths, Compliance Foundations, and CMMC Readiness

Government contracting is shifting fast. New compliance requirements, evolving procurement pathways, and CMMC mandates are reshaping who wins and who gets left behind. Whether you're evaluating federal contracting for the first time or repositioning from civilian agencies toward defense opportunities, the rules of engagement have changed.

Join Ted Rose and Wallace Angel on February 27th at 2:00 PM ET for a practical session covering the compliance, financial, and procurement fundamentals that matter most in 2026 — from FAR requirements and allowable cost structures to alternative entry paths that lower barriers and accelerate access.

What we'll cover:

• 2026 GovCon landscape: Key policy shifts, budget priorities, and where the money is flowing (including the defense pivot)
• Entry and expansion pathways: OTAs (Other Transaction Authorities), CSOs (Commercial Solutions Openings), and procurement avenues that reduce FAR complexity for new and repositioning contractors
• Compliance and cost structure essentials: Allowable costs, indirect rates, and the financial foundations agencies and auditors expect
• CMMC readiness: What compliance structures you need in place now, whether you're entering or already in the market
• Common pitfalls: The mistakes that sink new entrants and trip up experienced firms pivoting to new agencies 

Speakers:

• Ted Rose, President, CEO, and Founder, ROSE
• Wallace Angel, VP, Finance and Accounting, Client CFO, and GovCon Expert

This session is for companies entering government contracting, technology firms evaluating federal opportunities, and existing contractors looking to expand into defense or new agency markets with confidence.
