In accordance with FAR Subpart 19.14 and PL 109-461, award under this solicitation will be made on a competitive basis first to an eligible Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business (SDVOSB) concern, provided that there is adequate competition among such firms. 1.2. If there is inadequate competition for award to a SDVOSB concern, award will be made competitively to an eligible Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) concern. 1.3. If there is inadequate competition for award to a VOSB concern, award will be made competitively to an 8a or HubZone small business concern. 1.4. If there is inadequate competition for award to an 8a or HubZone concern, award will be made competitively to a small business concern IAW FAR 19.5. 1.5. If there is inadequate competition for award to a small business concern, award will be made on the basis of full and open competition considering all responsive offers submitted by responsible business concerns. 2. Adequate competition shall be deemed to exist if- 2.1 At least two competitive offers are received from qualified, responsible business concerns at the tier under consideration; and 2.2.
