Tracing its origins to the Korean War, the Defense Production Act (“DPA”) is a collection of economic controls that may be used by the President to marshal America’s private sector resources for national defense. Under Title I, the President may compel federal contracting participation and prioritization, as well as allocate resources to rapidly mobilize America’s industrial might for national emergencies. Title III provides tools and resources to strengthen the industrial base to ensure it is robust enough to support national defense activities at a moment’s notice.  

In this webinar Ian Patterson will discuss the unique contacting powers of the DPA, as well as the opportunities that exist for businesses under Title III.
