Pelli5 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Has anyone ever done a competitive Tribal/ANC/HNO 8(a) set aside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ji20874 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hmmm... I don't see this kind of a set-aside listed in FAR 19.000(a)(3) or FAR subpart 6.2. I understand and have done both 8(a) set-asides and 8(a) competitive procurements, but I've never done either where we further limited to a subcategory within 8(a), such as Jewish 8(a), Asian-Pacific Islander 8(a), African-American 8(a), or Tribal/ANC/HNO 8(a). Have you talked to SBA yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerfed Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 https://beta.sam.gov/opp/dbeec4459bbf4522a1c7b03073a083d8/view I don’t know why they did this. Seems like a lot of work. They could have asked sources to do a presentation, check out past performance references, and selected one for negotiations and award. Edit: I now see they they intend to make multiple IDIQ awards. Really strange. This approach seems to me to have few if any, advantages over use of existing contracts but lots of negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Culham Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 This reference goes along with the posts so far (no pun intended) either directly or indirectly. 13 CFR 124.506. Noting the nuances it would not be surprising to me that SBA in discussion with the agency would give the okay for a limited 8(a) competition. They have the power to do so.
