Small Business Joint Venture Structuring and Representation

The contract focuses on supporting small businesses in forming joint ventures and ensuring accurate compliance with DFARS 52.219-28 regulations regarding socioeconomic status representations, which are critical for participation in Department of Defense contracting. Service providers will assist small businesses in structuring their joint venture agreements to align with federal requirements and properly document their small business status, including ownership, control, and eligibility criteria under the applicable size standards. This work is essential for enabling small businesses to compete for defense-related opportunities while maintaining regulatory integrity. The task is scoped under NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services, and is classified as a subcontract under the Active Devices Division of the Department of Defense. The performance location is designated as APO, 09321, indicating overseas or military postal service operations, and all deliverables must be completed by the response deadline of July 30, 2026. This engagement is not subject to a specific set-aside designation, meaning eligibility is based on standard small business definitions and the ability to meet the technical requirements for compliance assistance rather than socioeconomic preference programs.
