Compliance and Certification Support Services

This contract seeks support services to ensure regulatory compliance for federal procurement activities, with a focus on verifying Small Business Administration status and accurately representing Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements. The work involves confirming small business eligibility under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, which restricts participation to businesses certified as small under SBA guidelines, and includes ongoing management of compliance documentation to maintain adherence to FAR provisions throughout the contract lifecycle. Additional responsibilities include implementing cybersecurity directives aligned with OMB M-23-13, specifically enforcing prohibitions on the use of TikTok and other covered applications across all systems and operations supporting the project. Performance of these services is required to be conducted primarily in Columbus, Ohio, with all deliverables tied to federal data security and procurement integrity standards. The solicitation is open exclusively to small businesses as defined by the NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services, and responses must be submitted by August 5, 2026. The contracting activity falls under the Department of Defense’s Nuclear Reactor Program, indicating the scope includes high-sensitivity operations requiring strict regulatory and cybersecurity controls. The subcontract nature of this award suggests it is part of a larger federal procurement effort where compliance and certification integrity are critical to maintaining eligibility and operational security.
