Sec.  125.19  When may a contracting officer set-aside a procurement for SDVO 

SBCs?

    (a) The contracting officer first must review a requirement to 
determine whether it is excluded from SDVO contracting pursuant to Sec.  
125.18.

[[Page 444]]

    (b) If the contracting officer determines that Sec.  125.18 does not 
apply, the contracting officer should consider setting aside the 
requirement for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVO SBC participation before 
considering setting aside the requirement as a small business set-aside.
    (c) If the CO decides to set-aside the requirement for competition 
restricted to SDVO SBCs, the CO must:
    (1) Have a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible SDVO 
SBCs will submit offers; and
    (2) Determine that award can be made at fair market price.
