Helping companies stay up to date with the government’s changing rules on how to make sure their products comply with IPv6.

Problem
Many companies, in the Washington, D.C., area and around the country, are interested in obtaining government contracts, which constitute a major sector of the U.S. economy. Some of these companies have never contracted with the government before, while some are already on procurement lists and schedules. In either case, since all government agencies have been mandated to achieve compliance with IPv6 by July 1, 2008, an aspiring contractor needs to use systems that are compliant as well. Those companies therefore need to know the latest word from the government about what constitutes IPv6 compatibility and where in the government the needed resources and information about compatibility can be found.

Actions
At the earliest stage, you should turn to an attorney experienced in IPv6 as it relates to government contracting. There is no one precise definition of IPv6 compliance, and pronouncements can issue from the Office of Management and Budget and from various offices of the Defense Department. The technical aspects of compliance can be very complex, and access to decision-makers can be very important. Companies should not wait to take action. Our attorneys can advise you on compliance with government requirements for IPv6 compatibility and where to find government resources on the issue.

Results
Our attorneys follow the changing IPv6 regulations closely. They will steer you in the right direction and away from any pitfalls that may exist as the changeover date approaches. The result is that you will remain compliant with all appropriate rules and may gain a competitive advantage over companies that have not kept up.
