Sec.  19.502-4  Methods of conducting set-asides.

    (a) Total small business set-asides may be conducted by using 
simplified acquisition procedures (see part 13), sealed bids (see part 
14), or competitive proposals (see part 15). Partial small business set-
asides may be conducted using sealed bids (see part 14), or competitive 
proposals (see part 15).
    (b) Except for offers on the non-set-aside portion of partial set-
asides, offers received from concerns that do not qualify as small 
business concerns shall be considered nonresponsive and shall be 
rejected. However, before rejecting an offer otherwise eligible for 
award because of questions concerning the size representation, an SBA 
determination must be obtained (see subpart 19.3).
