Small Business Representation and Socioeconomic Certification Support

The contract supports the prime contractor in meeting all Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements under FAR 52.219-28 regarding small business representation, with a focus on verifying and maintaining the valid socioeconomic status of subcontractors as HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, or Educated Women-Owned Small Business concerns. This includes ensuring all parties are properly registered and in active compliance with SAM.gov, confirming accurate self-certifications, and providing documentation to validate eligibility for small business set-asides throughout the performance period. The contractor must stay current with evolving regulatory standards and assist in resolving any discrepancies that could impact contract compliance or award status. This engagement is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, with a NAICS code of 541611 indicating management consulting services. The work is not tied to a specific geographic location and is intended to provide ongoing administrative and compliance support to uphold the integrity of small business programs across DoD procurement activities. The effort does not involve direct delivery of goods or services but rather ensures that the prime’s subcontracting practices align with federal small business participation rules and that all representations made during the acquisition lifecycle are accurate, documented, and defensible.
