Podcasts about Solicitation

Shaping a government statement of work through sources sought is the single most overlooked way small businesses win federal contracts before they are ever competed, and in this episode a former government buyer breaks down exactly how it works. Ryan Atencio spent years on the inside developing statements of work as the end user, and he walks through how to feed the customer minimum requirements, recommendations, and language that come back out inside the actual solicitation.  If you have ever wondered why some contractors seem to win the moment a bid drops, this is the mechanism nobody teaches you. How to add suggestions and recommendations to the end of every sources sought response so the contracting officer passes your language straight to the customer Why influencing the end user before it reaches the contracting officer is the real edge, and how to hand them a sample statement of work that is aimed at your company The subcontractor pitch that primes almost never hear: being turnkey, aggressively developing business, and expanding the scope of services a prime can offer the government How to become the sub a sought-after prime actually responds to, and why janky, poorly worded outreach emails get ignored Why 14 months is the average time to a first government contract, and how a consultant can become the government arm of an already successful private-side business EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Sources sought as the way to shape a solicitation 0:54 - Reaching the end user before the contracting officer 1:29 - Writing the statement of work that wins the bid 2:36 - Adding recommendations and minimum requirements to responses 3:36 - Why a good contracting book still can't teach influence 4:08 - Becoming attractive to a large prime partner 4:54 - The turnkey subcontractor pitch primes want to hear 5:30 - Making a new requirement out of nothing 6:00 - How consulting clients find him and how he lands them 7:13 - Why 14 months to a first contract sells consulting 8:04 - Falling into government construction as a consultant 9:04 - Why only 1 to 2 percent of small businesses win Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Federal agencies post new solicitations for work that falls under existing small business contract vehicles because contracting officers often do not know those vehicles are available, and 50 percent of government jobs are still going to one or no bidders. Eric Coffie walks through the exact conversation a contractor can have with a contracting officer to redirect a new solicitation onto an existing IDIQ or GSA Schedule vehicle, saving both sides time and paperwork. What you'll learn in this episode: How to find Army contracts posted on SAM.gov that fall under a vehicle you already hold and what to say to the contracting officer to move them over Why having a GSA Schedule is only the first step and what active marketing to agency buyers actually looks like How contract vehicles can be used across commands and even across agencies when one has budget and another has the requirement Why the government is creating specific narrow vehicles like a $5 million roofing IDIQ instead of one general construction award and how to use that to your advantage The one-conversation approach to getting a contracting officer to cut a task order through your existing vehicle instead of writing a new solicitation Chapters: 0:00 - Why agencies still post work you could already win 2:30 - How Sylvia's base vehicle can reach 30 commands 4:30 - Discoverability: the nationwide problem Eric is solving 6:45 - Juliette's IDIQ and three Army site visits 9:30 - The exact words to say to your contracting officer 10:45 - Cross-agency vehicle use and budget transfers   Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

On today's episode we will cover Charitable Solicitation Registration! If your nonprofit asks people for donations, you probably need to register with state regulators before you make the ask, and the rules are different in every state. We'll break down what charitable solicitation is, how it differs from your IRS tax-exempt status, what the most common misconceptions are, and what organizations should do to stay compliant with these laws. Today we are thrilled to be joined by our BA Summer Legal intern, Lina Zuluaga. On this Episode Brittany Leonard Tim Mooney Lina Zuluaga (Legal Intern) Shownotes: Opening: Intros (, Brittany, ) 1.         - Intro about   a.        Lina's summer internship experience 2.         - Starting with the basics: What is charitable solicitation and why does it exist? a.        Charitable solicitation registration is a state law consumer protection requirement                                                                                              i.         It is not a federal obligation                                                                                           ii.         States require organizations that ask the public for charitable donations to register with a state regulator, usually the Attorney General or Secretary of state, before they begin soliciting b.        The purpose is fraud prevention and transparency, not taxation.                                                                                              i.         States want to know who is asking their residents for money and how those funds are being used. c.        Roughly 40 states, plus D.C. have some form of registration requirement. About 10 states have no general charitable solicitation law. T[LZ1] [BL2] hese states don't have a general pre-registration requirement, though some still impose disclosure or other obligations                                                                                              i.         States with no registration requirements include Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Vermont, Utah and Wyoming.                                                                                           ii.         States with limited, or conditional registration requirements include Texas and Arizona. Their requirements are triggered by fundraising activities rather than a charitable solicitation act. d.        The key definitions to understand:                                                                                              i.         Solicitation: a request for a contribution for a charitable purpose, through any medium. 1.        Example: sending mail to citizens of a particular state, asking them to donate to your cause!                                                                                           ii.         Contribution: a gift of money or property 1.        Example: receiving a check in the mail from a new donor you've never contacted! 3.        -Three registrations commonly confused: IRS tax exempt status, state business registration, and charitable solicitation registration a.        IRS 501(c)(3) determination – refers to federal tax-exempt status. The organization is exempt from federal income tax, and donors can deduct contributions.                                                                                              i.         Tax exempt status on its own does not authorize fundraising in every state. b.        State business registration – is required when a nonprofit has a presence or does business in another state. It's a corporate filing with the Secretary of State. c.        Charitable solicitation registration – separate, additional obligation triggered by asking for donations. Many states require nonprofits to submit their IRS determination letter as part of the state registration, underscoring that federal status is a prerequisite, not a substitute. d.       Myth #1 – Tax exempt status gives you nationwide solicitation coverage                                                                                              i.         Scenario: A newly formed 501(c)(3) receives its IRS determination letter. The board treasurer says: "Awesome! We're good to fundraise everywhere now!" Is that right?                                                                                           ii.         No! That's a common misconception. The IRS determination letter means the federal government recognizes the organization as tax-exempt. It says nothing about whether you can legally ask for donations in California, New York, or any other state. There are separate state-level obligations with their own applications, fees, and renewal deadlines to be aware of. e.        An IRS determination letter is not a license to fundraise. Federal tax-exempt status and state solicitation registration are separate legal obligations. 4.         - Common misconceptions (FAQs) a.         - Do I need to register in every state we receive a donation from? For example, my nonprofit is based in Florida, and I receive a donation from someone in Indiana.                                                                                              i.         - No. Receiving a donation is not the same as soliciting one. Registration is triggered by making the ask, not by the receipt.                                                                                          ii.         - Also, Indiana is one of the states that doesn't have a charitable solicitation registration requirement. So, in this instance, registration wouldn't be required either way.                                                                                          iii.          – But this analysis would be different if the donation came from New York after you specifically solicited New York residents. Sending fundraising emails to residents there triggers New York's registration requirement. b.       How about if we have a donate button on our website. Do we need to register in all 50 states?                                                                                              i.           - The leading guidance comes from the Charleston Principles, developed in 2001 by the National Association of State Charity Officials, or NASCO.                                                                                           ii.          - Under the Charleston Principles, a nonprofit generally needs to register in a state if its website specifically targets residents of that state, or if it receives contributions from that state on a repeated, ongoing, or substantial basis.                                                                                        iii.          - A purely passive website with a donate button that isn't targeting any particular state generally wouldn't trigger registration everywhere.                                                                                        iv.          – That said, the Charleston Principles are guidance, not law. A small number of states including Colorado, Tennessee, and Mississippi, have enacted administrative regulations that mirror the principles' framework with specific numerical thresholds. In those states, the parallel rules are binding law, but their legal force comes from the state rulemaking process, not from the Principles themselves.                                                                                           v.          – the practical takeaway for organizations is that the Charleston Principles are a useful starting point, but they are not a safe harbor. You cannot point to them as an excuse for not abiding by state regulation. If you're doing active online fundraising, email campaigns to donors in other states, or geo-targeted advertisement seeking donations in another state, that's going to look a lot more like solicitation than a passive donate button on a website. c.         - Do we still need to register if we're a small organization just working with volunteers?                                                                                              i.         - In some states, small organizations may qualify for an exemption based on their revenue.                                                                                           ii.         -Two important points to consider: 1) thresholds for exemptions vary by state, and 2) many exemptions must be affirmatively claimed. Your organization may need to file a form to claim the exemption.                                                                                        iii.         smaller organizations may also wonder about membership dues and conference fees. 5.        Membership Dues and Conference Registration Fees a.        – That's right. One question that came up during a technical assistance request this summer was whether collecting membership dues and conference registration fees would trigger a charitable solicitation registration. b.         - The short answer is generally no, because most states distinguish between charitable solicitations and earned revenue. c.        – The Model Act Concerning the Solicitation of Funds for Charitable Purposes, drafted by the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) and NASCO in 1986 defines "contribution" as grant, promise, or pledge of value in response to a solicitation, but expressly excludes bona fide fees, dues or assessments paid by members, provided that membership is not conferred solely as consideration for making a contribution in response to a solicitation. d.         - Conference registration fees are generally treated the same way.  When someone pays to attend a conference and receives programming, materials, and meals of roughly equivalent value, that's program service revenue, not a contribution. e.        There's also instances to distinguish when membership fees may be considered solicitation                                                                                              i.          – One instance to consider is if membership is granted automatically to anyone who donates in response to solicitation. 1.        A membership conferred solely as consideration for a gift may be considered a contribution.                                                                                           ii.          – Another instance is if you have a "supporter" tier priced well above the value of benefits. The excess can start to look like a contribution. 1.        Contributions dressed up as dues risk losing the bona fide dues exclusion.                                                                                        iii.          – Also, if you add an option to donate on a conference registration form, or a 'sponsor and attendee' add-on, you've introduced solicitation into the same transaction. 1.        The conference fee itself is earned revenue, but the donation ask is you asking someone for a gift. 6.        Practical Compliance a.        What does registration actually involve?                                                                                             i.         – registration itself is typically straightforward. An application normally asks you to submit your formation documents, IRS determination letter, most recent Form 990, a list of officers and directors, description of fundraising activities, and a filing fee. 1.        Some states accept the Unified Registration Statement, which is a multi-state form. Colorado, Florida, and Oklahoma do not accept it. Even states that do accept it may require supplemental documents.                                                                                           ii.          – Renewal is also an important compliance consideration. Most states require annual renewal, often tied to the organization's fiscal year-end, with a new Form 990 and fee each cycle. Organizations that miss a renewal may receive noncompliance letters from their state agency for failure to renew. b.       What happens if we don't register?                                                                                              i.          – The consequences are real and can escalate. Regulators can issue cease and desist orders, which means the organization must stop soliciting and take down donate links. In some cases, they may even have to notify donors. Some states issue fines each day until the violation is corrected.                                                                                           ii.         – Beyond direct legal consequences, there's also a reputational impact to consider. Violations can become public record. Some grantors and major donors review registration status as part of due diligence before giving to an organization. c.        When should organizations get help?                                                                                              i.         – it depends, but organizations may consider their size and the number of states they solicit donations in. For example, small, local organizations with smaller footprints in a few states can likely handle their registration and renewals themselves. Organizations that are soliciting in the double-digit states may want to consider outsourcing their compliance.                                                                                           ii.          – Organizations may also consider consulting with their legal counsel. It's helpful to talk to your lawyer when the question stops being "which form do I file" and starts being "what does this statute mean?" Interpreting state definition of contributions, responding to a cease-and-desist letter, structuring a professional fundraiser contract, or navigating a multi-entity fundraising arrangement all entail judgment calls that would be best informed by legal expertise.

As Atlanta moves into 2026, local journalism faces a defining moment. Ron explores what it means as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ends its print edition and goes fully digital, signaling a broader shift in how news is consumed. Matt Scott, executive director of the Atlanta Community Press Collective, joins the show to explain how nonprofit, grassroots outlets are filling gaps left by corporate media—and why community support is now essential.On the national stage, James Comer (R-Kentucky) is a lot like the Wile E. Coyote cartoon character, in Ron's opinion: always chasing after something that'll get him crushed. This time it's testimony from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The more we learn about the Minnesota fraud story, the better Walz is going to look when he's mopping up the floor with Congressional Republicans if he goes.Later, Ron speaks with Darl Champion of the Champion Firm about concerns over-aggressive client solicitation practices (we think "ambulance chasers," they call 'em "runners") in the Georgia legal profession and what consumers should know after an accident. BONUS: Ron's 2026 Resolutions and predictions.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

This conversation delves into the complexities of criminal law, focusing on derivative liability, complicity, solicitation, conspiracy, and attempt. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the nuances of mens rea and actus reus, as well as the implications of legal standards and human psychology in the application of these laws. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in legal definitions and the potential for bias in judicial outcomes.In the realm of criminal law, understanding the nuances of derivative liability and inchoate offenses is crucial for both students and practitioners. These areas, often perceived as complex, require a deep dive into the principles of policy, specific intent, and the systematic application of rules.Derivative Liability: Derivative liability, particularly accomplice liability, holds individuals accountable for crimes committed by others if they assist or encourage the crime with a shared criminal purpose. The law requires affirmative assistance, not mere presence, to establish liability. This principle ensures that only those who actively contribute to a crime are held responsible.Inchoate Offenses: Inchoate offenses, such as solicitation, conspiracy, and attempt, focus on the intent and actions leading up to a crime. Solicitation is complete upon the request to commit a crime, while conspiracy involves an agreement to commit a crime, often requiring an overt act. Attempt, on the other hand, punishes those who take substantial steps towards committing a crime, even if the crime is not completed.The Role of Intent: Intent plays a pivotal role in these legal concepts. For accomplice liability, dual intent is necessary: the intent to aid and the mens rea for the target crime. In inchoate offenses, specific intent is paramount, guiding the legal standards for solicitation, conspiracy, and attempt.Conclusion: Navigating the complexities of derivative liability and inchoate offenses requires a thorough understanding of both the legal definitions and their practical applications. As future legal professionals, recognizing the human elements that influence legal judgments is essential for striving towards justice.Subscribe now to stay informed on the latest insights in criminal law.TakeawaysDerivative liability involves holding individuals accountable for crimes committed by others.Understanding the difference between common law and model penal code rules is crucial.Active involvement is necessary for complicity; mere presence is not enough.Omission can lead to liability if there is a legal duty to act.The Pinkerton rule expands liability to foreseeable consequences of conspiratorial actions.The model penal code focuses on individual culpability rather than broad liability.Solicitation is complete upon the act of asking someone to commit a crime.Conspiracy does not merge with the completed crime, allowing for separate charges.Specific intent is required for both conspiracy and attempt.Legal standards can be influenced by human psychology and biases.criminal law, derivative liability, complicity, solicitation, conspiracy, attempt, mens rea, actus reus, legal standards, bias

Understanding Inchoate Crimes: Definition and Significance In the world of criminal law, we often think of crimes in terms of completed acts. However, the legal system also prosecutes individuals for inchoate crimes, which are offenses that are not yet complete. The word "inchoate" comes from the Latin inchoare, meaning "to begin" or "to start," perfectly capturing the essence of these offenses.What are Inchoate Crimes?An inchoate crime is a crime of preparing for or seeking to commit another crime. These crimes are significant because they allow law enforcement to intervene and prevent more serious offenses from occurring. The core idea is that the intent to commit a crime, when coupled with a substantial step toward its commission, is itself a punishable offense. The three main types of inchoate crimes are:Attempt: This is perhaps the most common inchoate crime. It involves the specific intent to commit a crime and a significant act toward its commission. For example, if someone intends to rob a bank and is caught placing a ski mask and a weapon in their car as they drive to the bank, they could be charged with attempted robbery. The act must go beyond mere preparation and move toward the actual commission of the offense.Conspiracy: Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime. The key element is the agreement itself, followed by an overt act by one of the co-conspirators in furtherance of the crime. The act doesn't have to be a crime in itself; it just needs to show that the plan is moving forward. For instance, if two people agree to steal a car and one of them buys a tool to break into it, they could both be charged with conspiracy.Solicitation: This involves persuading, encouraging, or commanding another person to commit a crime. The crime is complete once the person asks or hires someone to commit the offense, regardless of whether the other person agrees or if the crime is actually carried out. For example, if you offer a friend money to break into your rival's house, you could be charged with solicitation, even if your friend refuses.Why Are They So Important?The legal concept of inchoate crimes is vital for several reasons:Crime Prevention: Prosecuting inchoate crimes allows the criminal justice system to intervene before a more serious offense can be completed. This can save lives, prevent property damage, and protect the public. By arresting someone for attempted murder, for instance, a life is potentially saved.Punishing Dangerous Intent: Inchoate crimes recognize that the intent to harm, when combined with a concrete step toward that goal, is a social harm in itself. It demonstrates a dangerous mindset and a willingness to break the law, which warrants punishment regardless of the outcome.Deterrence: The existence of these laws acts as a deterrent. Knowing that you can be prosecuted for planning a crime, even if you don't succeed, may discourage people from taking those initial steps.Understanding inchoate crimes is crucial for anyone interested in law. These offenses highlight a fundamental principle of our legal system: criminal responsibility isn't solely based on outcomes, but also on intent and the actions taken to achieve that intent. They serve as a proactive measure to protect society from individuals who demonstrate a clear and present danger.TakeawaysInchoate crimes focus on incomplete actions towards a crime.Attempt requires specific intent and a substantial step.Conspiracy is a powerful prosecutorial tool due to its evidentiary advantages.The MPC allows for earlier intervention in criminal attempts than common law.Legal impossibility can be a defense to attempt, but factual impossibility is not.Conspiracy does not merge with the completed crime, unlike attempt and solicitation.Solicitation is complete upon making a request, regardless of the response.Withdrawal from conspiracy does not negate the conspiracy itself but can limit future liability.
