              Subpart 2919.5_Set-Asides for Small Business

 

Sec. 2919.502  Setting aside acquisitions.





    Contracting officers will conduct market surveys specifically to 

determine whether procurements should be conducted via 8(a) procedures, 

HUBZone procedures or as small business set-asides. If a reasonable 

expectation exists that at least two responsible small businesses may 

submit offers at fair market prices (three responsible small businesses 

in procurements via GSA Federal Supply Schedule), then the procurement 

will be set aside for small business. Market surveys will be documented 

in all procurement actions not reserved for small businesses.
