Both the SBA’s regulations and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) require government officials to consider socio-economic programs first for set-aside contracts worth $150,000 or more. There is no order of preference among the programs.
A sole-source disabled veterans’ business program contract can be awarded if the contracting officer doesn’t have a reasonable expectation that two or more qualified disabled veterans’ small businesses will submit offers, determines that the qualified disabled veterans’ small business is responsible, and determines that the contract can be awarded at a fair price. The government estimate cannot exceed $4 million.
A competitive disabled veterans’ business program set-aside contract can be awarded if the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible disabled veterans’ small businesses will submit offers and that the resulting contract can be awarded at a fair market price.
Infopacity also has well-established relationships to facilitate direct award contracts though the 8(a), tribal and ANC-owned programs. Contact Chuck Bowes at 313-293-7182 to learn more.
