Small Business Program Representation & Compliance

The contract seeks support services to assist a prime contractor in accurately representing and maintaining compliance with small business program requirements following award, focusing on socioeconomic certifications and the structuring of joint ventures to meet federal contracting rules. This work is critical to ensuring the prime contractor remains eligible for set-aside programs and properly documents its small business status, including adherence to SBA guidelines regarding ownership, control, and performance obligations under joint venture arrangements. The services will involve ongoing consultation and documentation to validate representations made during the bidding process and sustain compliance throughout contract execution. Performance will be based in Oak Harbor, Washington, with a deadline for responses on July 24, 2026, and the contract falls under NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services. The awarding agency is the ASC Commodities Division within the Department of Defense, and the agreement is classified as a subcontract, indicating the support provider will work under a prime contractor rather than directly with the government. There is no specified set-aside type, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible small business service providers, but the work itself is inherently tied to small business compliance and strategy, making expertise in federal procurement regulations essential for successful performance.
