Small Business Joint Venture & Socioeconomic Compliance Support

The contract seeks a support provider to assist the prime contractor in navigating small business representation requirements and structuring joint ventures compliant with federal socioeconomic programs. Key responsibilities include ensuring adherence to SBA guidelines for WOSB, EDWOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and SDB certifications, with a focus on accurate representation, documentation, and ongoing compliance throughout the life of the prime contract. The support must align with federal acquisition regulations and facilitate the prime contractor’s ability to legitimately claim small business status in government contracting opportunities. This subcontract is tied to a Department of Defense solicitation with a place of performance in Clackamas, Oregon, and a response deadline of August 5, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicates the work relates to management consulting services, suggesting the support will involve strategic advisory functions around compliance and structuring rather than operational execution. The subcontractor must be prepared to work closely with the prime contractor to maintain eligibility under various socioeconomic designations and to prevent any misrepresentation that could jeopardize contract awards or lead to regulatory penalties.
