Small Business and Joint Venture Representation Support

The contract requires support to a prime contractor in managing small business representations, UEI and CAGE code disclosures, and ensuring compliance with DFARS regulations for joint ventures and subcontracting arrangements. This engagement centers on accurate and timely administrative and regulatory actions to maintain eligible small business status and adherence to federal contracting requirements, particularly where joint ventures or subcontracts are involved. The work demands a thorough understanding of federal acquisition rules and the ability to coordinate documentation and certifications that validate compliance under the North American Industry Classification System code 541611. Performance is expected to be conducted in support of the Department of Defense’s Maritime Supply Chain initiative, with the place of performance designated as FPO, 34087. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, and responses are due by July 31, 2026, with a subcontract classification indicating this is not a direct government contract but rather a support role for a prime contractor. No set-aside classification is specified, meaning the work is open to all qualified providers, though expertise in federal small business regulations and defense contracting compliance is essential. All responsibilities must be executed precisely to avoid compliance risks that could jeopardize the prime contract’s status or funding.
