Ethics in Contracting - Federal, SLED, B2B & Retail
Most ethics training hands you a checklist and hopes you never face a situation it didn't anticipate. This course does the opposite. Ethics in Contracting is built to unlock judgment, not memorization — because the moments that matter most are the ones no rule book fully covers.
Over a single CLP hour, you'll learn to recognize the five improper practices before they take root, apply the standards that actually govern conduct — the appearance-of-impropriety test and the highest degree of public trust — and distinguish personal conflicts from organizational ones so the right cure gets applied the first time. You'll map how one integrity standard is enforced across Federal, SLED, and commercial markets, and you'll know how to respond when something surfaces, so a disclosure becomes a managed issue rather than a headline.
The goal isn't to follow a formula. It's to give you the flexibility to make defensible calls in the gray areas — wherever the work takes you, and whatever the rule book left out.

Ethics in Contracting
Ethics in Contracting: Integrity Across Every Market. One 1.0 CLP hour on the duties that govern how public and private money is spent — recognizing bribery, gratuities, kickbacks, conflicts, and collusion across Federal, SLED, and commercial markets. Impact: Satisfies the training leg of FAR 52.203-13 with a scored knowledge check and completion certificate for the record.

The IMPACT you will learn -
5 Learning Objectives - Recognize, Apply, Distinguish, Map, Respond
1. Recognize the violations before they happen. You'll identify the five improper practices — bribery, illegal gratuities, kickbacks, conflicts of interest, and collusion — on sight. Impact: Your team stops problems at the source instead of explaining them to an auditor later.
Recognize
3. Distinguish COI from OCI — and know the cure. You'll separate personal conflicts of interest from organizational conflicts, and apply the right remedy to each. Impact: The right fix gets applied the first time, protecting both the individual and the company's eligibility to compete.
Distinguish
2. Apply the standard that actually governs. You'll use the "appearance of impropriety" test and the highest-degree-of-public-trust standard against real scenarios, not just the letter of the law. Impact: People make defensible calls in the gray areas where most ethics failures occur.
Apply
4. Map the duty across every market. You'll trace how the same ethical obligation is enforced across Federal, SLED, and commercial markets. Impact: One integrity standard travels with your people wherever the work goes, so nothing gets lost crossing sector lines.
Map
Respond
5. Respond when it counts. You'll know your disclosure obligations and the enforcement consequences of getting it wrong. Impact: When something surfaces, your people report it correctly and early — what separates a managed issue from a False Claims Act headline.
