Small Business & Socioeconomic Status Verification

The contract seeks support services to assist a prime contractor in verifying the small business status and socioeconomic eligibility of manufacturers supplying goods or services under federal contracts. This effort ensures full compliance with federal procurement regulations regarding small business participation, including programs such as HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and other designated socioeconomic categories. The work involves meticulous review of company documentation, validation of certifications through official federal databases, and confirmation of ongoing eligibility to meet federal contracting requirements. The task falls under NAICS code 541611, indicating it is centered on management consulting services, with performance expected in support of the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract and carries a tight turnaround, with responses due by August 5, 2026, just over a week after the posting date of July 28, 2026. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning the subcontract is open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or socioeconomic classification, but the work itself is strictly tied to ensuring that the prime contractor’s suppliers meet federal small business and socioeconomic criteria for compliance.
