                     CHAPTER 29--DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
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.
