Hello all,
My company is a small business who has performed as a major subcontractor on a contract that was a direct award to a tribal company. Our understanding was that the work share had to be a minimum of 51% for the tribal company holding the 8(a) status, and up to 49% for the subcontractor. However, I am curious as to whether that's defined as revenue share or work share. For example, if the contract has 10 positions, they will say they can only give us 4 spots, not 5 because of the 51% rule. As we look to partner with a new ANC, I'd love some guidance to the FAR regulations that cover this topic. In addition, if we establish a Joint Venture with an ANC, and use their status to receive a direct award, does this % breakdown still apply? Thanks in advance!
