Government Contractor’s “Coronavirus Checklist”

Wiley continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 crisis and will update this list as new information is available. This alert was originally published on March 19, 2020 and updated on April 24, 2020.

Over the past several weeks, federal, state and local governments have taken unprecedented actions to try to address both the public health and economic impacts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). These unprecedented actions include the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which includes financial relief aimed at easing some of the financial hardships inflicted on various industries, including government contractors. In addition, government contractors have played a key role in responding to the COVID-19 crisis, with contractors being called upon to deliver personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, and other badly needed medical supplies.

Get Your Priorities Straight: Navigating the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) in Coronavirus Times 

The Federal Government’s power to redirect the efforts of contractors reaches its peak during times of crisis. So it should come as no surprise that the Administration may wield long-established statutory discretion, under the Defense Production Act of 1950 (DPA), to control what companies make and do (and when) as things are needed to address the current COVID-19 public health emergency. This topic is now front-page news following the President’s invocation of the DPA to provide such powers to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on March 18, 2020.
