SBA 8(a) Contract Vehicle
Program Description:
Firms under the 8(a) program are rigorously evaluated on ownership, operations, financial health, accounting system, and past performance. Once accepted, a firm is required to provide SBA with a detailed business plan and demonstrate annually continued success as a viable, strong business entity. Firms that are approved are certified by the SBA for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal Agencies, allowing them to contract directly with certified 8(a) firms. Participants can receive sole-source contracts, up to a ceiling of $4 million for goods and services. The Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) Sole Source vehicle enables agencies to direct award contracts to certified contractors such as DAS Federal.
Benefits:
The 8(a) sole source vehicle provides agencies a simplified and shortened acquisition life cycle:
- Agencies can directly negotiate with firms to get the best value.
- Administrative costs, procurement process and time is reduced to a minimum.
- Acquisition time to award an 8(a) sole source contract is usually within days.
- Contract Initiation only requires a simple high-level statement of work.
- Agencies promoting small and disadvantaged business participation are provided with credits.
Simple Steps to Establish 8(a) Sole Source Contract
- The Government program manager or official develops a statement of work, prepares a government estimate, and obtains the necessary funding.
- The Government program manager or official chooses a specific 8(a) company such as DAS Federal to perform the work and submits a procurement request to the agency contracting officer.
- The agency contracting officer prepares and submits an “Offer Letter” to the SBA Business Development Specialist (Watson, Sheila Sheila.Watson@sba.gov ).
- SBA processes the Offer Letter and returns it to the agency contracting officer who submits the Statement of Work and Request for Proposal or Quotation.
- The 8(a) submits the proposal which is evaluated and negotiated as necessary by the agency.
- The contract is awarded to the 8(a).
This process can be easily implemented, usually within days DAS Federal has a constructive working relationship with the SBA-assigned Business Development Specialist (BDS) who can help clarify questions related to the 8(a) program and facilitate any contract award.

WOSB Contract Vehicle
A Guide to Awarding Sole-Source Contracts in the WOSB Program
Section 825 of the FY15 National Defense Authorization Act provided agencies with statutory authority to award sole-source contracts to women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) through the WOSB Federal Contract Program. Until now, contracts could only be restricted to competition of two or more WOSBs. On September 14, 2015, the SBA promulgated a final rule governing the awarding of these contracts. The FAR Council’s Interim Final Rule implementing sole source authority became effective on December 31, 2015. The relevant portions of the CFR and FAR are noted at the end of this document.
Four Requirements for WOSB Sole Source Contracts
- Is the contract in a WOSB eligible NAICS code?
The WOSB program is unique in that it is only applicable to contracts in certain NAICS codes. A list of all NAICS codes in the program is readily available at:
https://www.sba.gov/document/support-eligible-naics-women-owned-small-business-federal-contracting-program
Applicable NAICS Codes for Computer Services: 541511, 541512, 541519, 519130, 519190
- Is the contract (including options) valued at $4.5 million or less?
Similar to other small business contracting programs, WOSB sole source contracts are limited to certain sizes.
All contracts have a cap of $4.5 million. This is including all options on the contract.
- Can the contract be awarded to the WOSB at a fair and reasonable price?
The statute and regulations also require that the contract can be awarded at a “fair and reasonable price.” This common term in federal contracting is described in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 15.4 available at: https://www.acquisition.gov/far/subpart-15.4
- In the determination of the contracting officer, is there a reasonable expectation that there is only one WOSB that can perform?
The final requirement for a sole-sourced contract in the WOSB program is the contracting officer’s determination, through market research, that only one WOSB can perform the requirement and that this firm will provide a fair and reasonable price (see #3).
Note: If it is determined that 2 or more WOSBs can perform, the contract can be set-aside through the WOSB program.
If these four questions are all answered “Yes”, then the contract can be awarded to a WOSB on a sole-source basis
FAR Subpart on WOSB program: 19.15 CFR on WOSB program: 13 CFR 127
