COVID-19 and Federal Procurement Contracts

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and related mandates and recommendations to practice social distancing, work from home, shelter in place, and self-quarantine impact government contracts by disrupting supply chains and business operations. These disruptions may make it difficult and potentially impossible for some federal contractors to perform government procurement contracts as originally contemplated. Disruptions will likely alter government procurement priorities and have prompted questions about how the novelCOVID-19 pandemic might affect federal acquisitions and government contractor performance.
