  • 25 Lessons

The Federal Contract Compliance Program (FCCP) is a compliance initiative to ensure contractor personnel understand federal contracting requirements, roles, and boundaries before working on a contract. It emphasizes awareness of areas such as contract authority, scope, timekeeping, security, and escalation, all of which are linked to performance risks.

Compliance training your federal customers already expect — without adding admin burden.

If you support federal clients, your employees are making compliance decisions every day, whether or not you call them that.

The question isn’t whether your team understands the boundaries of federal contracts.
It’s whether you can confidently demonstrate that they do.

The Federal Contract Compliance Program establishes a clear, documented baseline that shows your workforce understands how to operate responsibly in a federal contracting environment — before issues become performance risks.

Why FCCP Exists

Most compliance issues don’t come from bad intent.
They come from capable employees trying to be helpful in situations they weren’t trained to navigate.

FCCP addresses the most common risk areas federal customers care about:

  • Informal direction and unclear authority

  • Scope creep that starts small and grows quietly

  • Timekeeping and labor charging mistakes

  • Security and access boundary issues

  • Failure to escalate concerns early

This course gives your team the judgment framework they need — and gives you something concrete to point to when the government asks, “How do you ensure your staff understands compliance expectations?”

Who This Program Is For

FCCP is designed for:

  • Small government contractors with staff augmentation through embedded contractor teams.

It is especially valuable for companies that:

  • Are growing quickly

  • Rely on junior or mid-level staff

  • Support multiple contracts or agencies

  • Want to look more mature in proposals without adding overhead

What FCCP Covers

FCCP is a structured, online, ondemand text-based compliance course covering:

  • Federal contracting environment expectations

  • Contract authority and decision boundaries

  • Scope management and out-of-scope risk

  • Timekeeping, labor charging, and cost integrity

  • Security, data handling, and access boundaries

  • Ethics, professional conduct, and representation

  • Escalation, issue identification, and reporting

The focus is practical judgment, not legal interpretation.

Cost

FCCP is free.

This program exists to:

  • Improve compliance outcomes across the GovCon ecosystem

FCCP works because it aligns contractor behavior with what government oversight roles already expect and gives companies a credible way to demonstrate that alignment in proposals.

Build for Proposal - Not Just Training

FCCP was designed with proposals in mind.

Small GovCons often struggle to demonstrate workforce maturity without over-claiming or creating administrative overhead. FCCP gives you clean, defensible language you can reference across proposals, compliance plans, and management approaches.

What this does for proposals:

  • Shows proactive workforce preparation

  • Signals risk awareness without legal claims

  • Demonstrates consistency across staff roles

  • Reduces reliance on vague statements like “our staff is trained”

Because FCCP is standardized and documented, it gives evaluators confidence that your approach is intentional — not ad hoc.

Why COs, CORs, and COTRs Respond Positively to FCCP

Government stakeholders are not looking for contractors who “know the FAR.”
They are looking for contractors whose staff do not create problems.

FCCP aligns with what Contracting Officers, CORs, and COTRs consistently value in contractor teams:

  • Staff who understand authority and do not accept informal direction

  • Teams that avoid unauthorized or out-of-scope work

  • Accurate timekeeping and labor charging behavior

  • Early escalation of issues instead of last-minute surprises

  • Professional conduct on government sites

FCCP reinforces these expectations at the workforce level — before issues surface.

Proposal-Ready Language (Use This)

Enroll all your employees (we'll handle the onboarding) and then...

You may use the following language directly in proposals and compliance plans:

All contractor personnel assigned to this effort complete the Federal Contract Compliance Program prior to performance. The program provides standardized training covering federal contract authority, scope management, timekeeping responsibilities, security awareness, and escalation expectations to reduce performance and compliance risk.
