I am hoping someone may be able to shed some light in regards to the SBA’s “Three-In-Two” rule for Joint Ventures?
SBA’s current regulations provide that a joint venture can be awarded no more than three contracts over a two-year period. I understand that the SBA has proposed changes and is planning to keep the two-year lifespan for joint venture awards, however is planning to get rid of the three contract maximum. I don’t believe this has taken affect just yet?
Could someone confirm as to whether or not delivery orders and task orders awarded under an IDIQ, BPA or MAC are considered contracts? I am fairly confident that I know the answer, however there is some confusion which leads to the understanding that a joint venture could be awarded three (3) IDIQs, BPAs or MACs, and that the individual task orders/delivery orders awarded under those would not be considered contracts?
Thank you in advance for your time.
