Small Business Subcontracting and Compliance Support

The contract seeks consulting support to assist small business primes in navigating complex federal acquisition regulations related to set-aside compliance, particularly under FAR 19.5, and in structuring joint ventures that meet regulatory requirements. Services include guidance on UEI registration, accurate post-award representations mandated by FAR 52.219-28, and ensuring adherence to small business subcontracting obligations. The provider must deliver expert advice tailored to the unique challenges faced by small businesses seeking to compete for and fulfill Department of Defense contracts while maintaining full compliance with federal procurement standards. This support is critical for primes operating under NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services, and is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense. Although no specific solicitation number or place of performance is listed, the response deadline is July 23, 2026, and the contract type is classified as a subcontract. The focus is on enabling small businesses to properly position themselves for set-aside opportunities without risking noncompliance, misrepresentation, or contract termination. Consultants are expected to bring deep knowledge of the FAR, practical experience with DLA procurement processes, and the ability to translate regulatory complexity into actionable strategies for clients.
