Small Business and Socioeconomic Compliance Support

This contract provides consulting support to help small businesses navigate and obtain federal socioeconomic certifications such as HUBZone, WOSB, and VOSB, while also assisting in structuring joint ventures that comply with federal contracting requirements. The scope centers on ensuring eligibility and alignment with government-set criteria for small business participation in defense-related procurements, with specialized focus on meeting the regulatory standards necessary to qualify for set-aside contracts. The work is expected to involve advising clients on documentation, eligibility verification, application processes, and compliance strategies to maintain certification status over time. The contract is issued as a subcontract under the Department of Defense through the Medical Supply Chain FSH organization, with performance based at Fort Stewart, Georgia, in the 31314-5185 zip code. The NAICS code 541611 identifies the work as management consulting services, emphasizing strategic advisory support rather than direct procurement or operational management. Responses are due by May 18, 2026, following a posting date of May 10, 2026. While no specific set-aside classification is designated, the nature of the services directly supports small business access to federal opportunities, particularly those governed by defense acquisition regulations. All engagement must align with federal socioeconomic program rules and deliver actionable, compliant outcomes for client businesses seeking to expand their presence in government contracting.
