Agentic AI in the Workplace

November3, 2026
Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) moves workplace AI from recommendation to action. Agentic AI systems are designed to do more than draft, score, and recommend. They can break a goal into steps, call on other software, and complete tasks with limited human direction, such as scheduling interviews, answering employee questions, routing requests, summarizing performance information, or drafting and distributing documents. An agent's ability to carry a process across multiple steps may reduce handoffs and repetitive work, with the potential to gain significant efficiencies.
The adoption curve for agentic AI is aggressive. Gartner's 2026 CIO and Technology Executive Survey found that AI agent deployment is expected to increase from 17% in 2026 to more than 60% within the next two years, with at least 15% of day-to-day work decisions being made autonomously through agentic AI.
However, plans for agentic AI may be moving faster than the frameworks for overseeing it. Seventy-four percent of organizations expect to use AI moderately in the next two years, but only 13% think they have the right governance in place. It is then not surprising that over 40% of agentic AI projects are predicted to be canceled by the end of 2027, citing cost, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls.
This Report focuses on a path for employers to capture the value of agentic AI by treating autonomy as a deliberate design decision, reimagining functions based on new capabilities, adapting governance to reflect emerging laws and developing legal doctrine, and preserving the record.
This Report offers an analytical framework for overcoming uncertainty and making strategic decisions with a legal foundation as follows:
* What agentic AI is, how it differs from earlier tools, and where employers are using it;
* How federal, state, local, and global rules treat workplace AI, and where they assume there is a human decision-maker;
* The mismatch between the current regulatory environment and advances in autonomous AI systems;
* How agentic autonomy changes risk in discrimination, agency and authority, data access and privacy, wage and hour, labor relations, restructuring, leave and accommodation, trade secrets, and with respect to vendors; and
* How litigation and discovery are developing, and how plaintiffs may adapt existing claims.
The Report concludes with a practical framework for AI-enabled workforce transformation based on defensible governance: Decide, Design, Defend.

SBA Plans Stricter Limitations-on-Subcontracting For Set-Aside Contracts - Construction Contractors Should Take Particular Note
November 3, 2026
Authors
Bret S. Wacker, Ronald D. Sullivan, Jeffrey M. Gallant, Colleen Jarrott, J. Chris White
The U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") has announced plans to revise the limitations-on-subcontracting rules governing covered small-business set-aside and sole-source awards in response to a September 30, 2026, SBA Office of Inspector General ("OIG")report. This report looked into federal-wide compliance with the limitations on subcontracting for set-aside awards, including those for construction contracts. SBA's September 28, 2026, management response proposes compliance, oversight, reporting, tracking, data-collection, and enforcement reforms that are broader than construction, but the scope of any changes to subcontracting percentage limits remains unspecified.
SBA expects to complete draft revisions to 13 C.F.R. Sec. 125.6, by April 1, 2027. The announced revisions would set new subcontracting thresholds and strengthen oversight, reporting, tracking, data collection, interpretation, and enforcement. SBA has not yet published a proposed rule, and the current limitations remain in effect.
Governing Framework
Limitations on subcontracting arise under the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 657s, and are implemented through 13 C.F.R. Sec. 125.6 and FAR 52.219-14. Subcontracting limitation rules apply to set-aside contracts for covered services, supply, general construction, and specialty trade construction awards. To preserved the objective of set-aside contracts, these rules limit the amount a small-business prime may pay to subcontractors that are not "similarly situated." A similarly situated subcontractor must share the prime contractor's applicable small-business program status and be small under the NAICS code assigned to the subcontract. Payments to a similarly situated subcontractor generally are excluded from the limitation, but amounts that an entity pays to a non-similarly situated lower-tier subcontractor count against the prime contractor's permitted percentage.
The current caps are:
Services: 50%
Supplies: 50%, excluding the cost of materials
General construction: 85%, excluding the cost of materials
Specialty trade construction: 75%, excluding the cost of materials
For services, the prime generally may not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the Government to non-similarly situated subcontractors. For supplies, the corresponding 50% calculation excludes the cost of materials. For general construction, the current cap is 85% of the amount paid by the Government, excluding the cost of materials, and for specialty trade construction the current cap is 75% on the same basis. The limitations generally apply to total small-business set-asides above the simplified acquisition threshold and to set-aside or sole-source awards under the 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs regardless of dollar value, subject to the regulation's stated exceptions.
Compliance generally is measured over the base term and then separately over each option period, unless the contracting officer requires order-level application for an indefinite-delivery contract. A violation may result in a fine equal to the greater of $500,000 or the amount spent in excess of the applicable limitation. SBA's regulation also addresses the effect of compliance on past-performance evaluations and recognizes specified extenuating circumstances.
OIG Findings
SBA OIG Report 26-19 examined limitations-on-subcontracting compliance for set-aside awards across the federal government. OIG reviewed eight oversight reports involving five agencies and identified recurring deficiencies in interpretation, application, monitoring, reporting, and enforcement. Recommendation 1 directs SBA to revise 13 C.F.R. Sec. 125.6 using unambiguous, mandatory language to promote consistent interpretation, application, and enforceability. Recommendations 2 through 4 address training, reinforcement of pre-award and post-award controls, and clearer allocation of federal oversight roles. The report therefore supports an alert directed to contractors across the covered set-aside programs.
SBA's Planned Changes
SBA agreed with Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 and partially agreed with Recommendation 4. Its planned revisions to oversight, reporting, tracking, agency guidance, data collection, and enforceability are framed generally. SBA's numerical-threshold discussion, however, focuses most directly on construction, criticizing the rule for permitting a general-construction prime to perform as little as 15% of the contract amount after excluding materials. SBA cited a 2024 $95.3 million 8(a) construction award in which $73.6 million, or 77%, was subcontracted to a large corporation. SBA also cited a 2024 management-and-general-consulting-services 8(a) award of nearly $8.8 million in which approximately $8.5 million, or more than 96%, allegedly was subcontracted to a large consulting firm.
SBA's announced draft revisions will:
* Set new subcontracting thresholds intended to close pass-through loopholes and ensure small businesses perform small business contracts
* Clarify oversight, reporting, and tracking requirements
* Guide agencies on tracking and reporting and develop collection mechanisms for SBA to use limitations-on-subcontracting data to identify waste, fraud, and abuse
* Replace ambiguous or nonmandatory language that impedes consistent interpretation, application, and enforcement
SBA has not specified the proposed numerical thresholds or identified every contract category whose threshold may change. The Small Business Act establishes the 50% limitations for services and supplies and provides a process for SBA to revise those percentages based on conventional industry practices. For other contract categories, including construction, SBA may establish a specified percentage through notice-and-comment rulemaking. Accordingly, the announced compliance and enforcement revisions are broader than construction, but the management response provides its clearest threshold-specific rationale for changing the 85% general-construction cap. Any resulting regulatory amendment also may require conforming action to FAR 52.219-14.
Application to Existing Contracts
SBA's management response does not state whether revised thresholds or compliance mechanisms would apply to existing contracts, later-exercised options, or new orders under existing indefinite-delivery vehicles. Contractors should review the applicability and effective-date provisions of any proposed rule when issued, with construction contractors paying particular attention to any proposed change to the current 85% and 75% caps.
Interplay with the Proposed New Size Standards
These plans arrive while SBA's proposed size standards overhaul remains open for comment. SBA estimates that proposal would add approximately 114,541 firms to the pool of qualifying small businesses. Comments are due November 20, 2026. (Please review the October 5, 2026, October 12, 2026, and October 14, 2026, articles published by our government contracts team attorneys to learn more about the pending SBA Size Standards issues.)
The two rulemakings intersect at the definition of "similarly situated." While increased size standards would place more subcontractors inside that group, a stricter cap would limit what a prime may pay to firms outside it. The net effect on any contract will depend on the final numbers in both rules. Firms that gain small status under the proposed standards may find a stricter cap easier to meet as primes because they have more capacity to self-perform.
Recommended Actions
Before SBA publishes a proposed rule, affected parties should:
1. Review the share of each set-aside contract paid to subcontractors that are not similarly situated.
2. Track subcontractor payments by size and certification for each base and option period.
3. Model construction bids and future opportunities against potentially lower construction subcontracting caps and model service and supply contracts for more prescriptive documentation, monitoring, and enforcement requirements.
4. Identify subcontractors that qualify as similarly situated today and those that may qualify under the proposed size standards.
5. Review teaming, joint venture, and mentor-protege workshare provisions built around the current limits.
6. Tighten subcontract flow-down and certification terms--require similarly situated subcontractors to self-perform with their own employees and to notify the prime if they lose their size or socioeconomic status during performance.
7. Preserve contemporaneous evidence of compliance--invoices, subcontracts, and task-level value records--which a contracting officer may demand during or after performance.
8. Identify cure and mitigation options in advance; Sec. 125.6(e) recognizes extenuating circumstances, such as labor shortages, government-directed scope changes, and a subcontractor's loss of similarly situated status, that can preserve a satisfactory past-performance rating.
Bottom Line
This SBA initiative is broader than construction in its compliance, oversight, reporting, training, and enforcement dimensions because it responds to federal-wide concerns involving Sec. 125.6 and set-aside awards. The most concrete indication of a numerical threshold change remains construction, particularly the current 85% cap for general construction. The alert should therefore address all contractors performing covered set-aside and sole-source awards while retaining construction thresholds as the principal identified numerical-rulemaking risk. Current limitations remain in effect unless and until SBA completes rulemaking and establishes an effective date.
Clark Hill's Government Contracting team can assist companies in reviewing subcontracting compliance, structuring teaming and workshare arrangements, and preparing comments on both rulemaking processes.

BEIJING, Nov. 3, 2026 - China's commercial fleet will more than double to over 9,800 airplanesover the next 20 years, Boeing [NYSE:BA] said today in Beijing. Passenger air travel is forecast to grow 5% annually driven by an expanding middle class, more visa-free travel destinations and continued aviation infrastructure investment, according to Boeing's 2026 China Commercial Market Outlook (CMO), its long-term forecast of demand for commercial airplanes and related services.
"Our long-term forecast continues to show strong demand for new airplanes as China's passenger air traffic outpaces growth globally, supported by favorable economic and policy fundamentals that will make air travel more accessible," said Darren Hulst, Boeing vice president of Commercial Marketing. "With a partnership spanning nearly 55 years, Boeing jets are the backbone of China's civil aviation industry growth, connecting people and carrying goods within and across continents."
Chinese carriers will take delivery of more than 7,200 single-aisle airplanes to support their domestic and Asia Pacific regional networks - representing 78% of the country's total projected deliveries. By 2045, China's domestic air travel market is expected to become the world's largest as more people choose to fly for leisure or business throughout the country. With more efficient and capable single-aisle airplanes entering the fleet, airlines will also further expand their regional networks to increase connectivity throughout Asia Pacific and Central Asia.
Passenger traffic on long-haul routes linking China with Europe, North and South America, Africa and the Middle East will outpace overall growth in the region, driving the need for more than 1,400 widebody airplanes. The combination of China's large-scale manufacturing, high-tech industrial development and largest e-commerce market in the world will further boost China's air cargo traffic, fueling demand for 560 production and converted freighters by 2045 to add capacity and replace older models with the latest technology.
Following rapid growth over the past 25 years, China now has the second largest commercial jet fleet by country with nearly 4,500 airplanes. As the fleet matures, future airplane demand will be more balanced between renewal and growth, with 42% of the 9,240 airplanes delivered in the next two decades replacing older models.
Boeing also projects by 2045:
* Airlines in China will invest $875 billion over the next 20 years in digital services improvements, airplane maintenance and personnel training to improve productivity and capability.
* China's aviation sector will require 425,000 new pilots, technicians and cabin crew, driving requirements for training support that includes competency-based training and assessment programs (CBTA) and new training centers.
* * *
TABLE: New deliveries (2026-2045)
* * *
Boeing has been in China for more than 50 years. Today, Boeing aircraft are a mainstay of China's air transportation system for both passengers and cargo. The workforce in China contributes to the production of Boeing airplanes, including the 737, 767, 777 and 787 Dreamliner. Between suppliers, revenue from joint ventures, business operations, training and investments in research and development Boeing is part of more than $1 billion in direct economic impact
