Small Business Supplier Pooling and Set-Aside Participation

Small businesses are invited to participate in a Department of Defense sources-sought notice aimed at establishing a supplier pool through small business set-asides, allowing firms to compete as primes or subcontractors for future contract opportunities. The solicitation targets North American Industry Classification System code 541611, which covers management consulting services, and requires responses by May 14, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The place of performance is identified as Parris Island, South Carolina, with an expectation that services will support military operations or administrative functions at this location. While specific set-aside categories are not detailed, the notice is explicitly designed to prioritize small business involvement and does not restrict participation to any single socio-economic designation, leaving room for various small business types including SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, or general small businesses to respond. The opportunity is managed by the Commanding General under the Department of Defense, with no formal point of contact provided, but interested parties can access additional details via the referenced SAM.gov portal link.
