Sec. 126.607  When must a contracting officer set aside a requirement for qualified HUBZone SBCs?

    (a) The contracting officer first must review a requirement to 
determine whether it is excluded from HUBZone contracting pursuant to 
Sec. 126.605.
    (b) The contracting officer must identify qualified HUBZone 8(a) 
concerns and other 8(a) concerns. The contracting officer must give 
first priority to qualified HUBZone 8(a) concerns.
    (c) After determining that neither paragraph (a) or (b) of this 
section apply, the contracting officer must set aside the requirement 
for competition restricted to qualified HUBZone SBCs if the contracting 
officer:
    (1) Has a reasonable expectation, after reviewing SBA's list of 
qualified HUBZone SBCs that at least two responsible qualified HUBZone 
SBCs will submit offers; and
    (2) Determines that award can be made at fair market price.
