Small Business Set-Aside Coordination and Reporting

This contract encompasses support for small business outreach, verification of socioeconomic status, and comprehensive reporting to inform decisions regarding potential small business set-asides for upcoming procurements. The work involves engaging with small businesses to ensure they are aware of procurement opportunities, validating their eligibility based on federal socioeconomic criteria, and producing detailed reports that help determine whether a contract should be reserved exclusively for small businesses. The effort is critical to promoting equitable access to federal contracting opportunities and meeting regulatory obligations related to small business participation. The task is being managed under the NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to management consulting services, suggesting the work includes strategic coordination and administrative support rather than direct service delivery. The contract is classified as a subcontract and is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17. Performance is required to occur in Dallas, Texas, with a zip code of 75216. The solicitation was posted on July 27, 2026, with responses due by July 30, 2026, indicating a short turnaround timeframe typical for time-sensitive procurement planning activities. The contract is not tied to a specific set-aside designation at this time but is foundational for future determination.
