Socioeconomic Compliance and Joint Venture Support

The contract focuses on assisting the prime contractor in achieving small business and socioeconomic participation objectives by leveraging certified 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB entities or structured joint venture arrangements. The scope requires active support in ensuring compliance with federal mandates designed to promote contracting opportunities for disadvantaged and underserved businesses, with the goal of fulfilling set-aside requirements through verified partnerships and collaborative arrangements. Efforts must align with the performance expectations tied to NAICS code 541611, which relates to management consulting services, and require seamless integration with the prime contractor’s operational and reporting frameworks to satisfy agency compliance thresholds. This subcontract is issued under the Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain organization with a posting date of July 30, 2026, and a response deadline of August 10, 2026. The nature of the work does not specify a geographic performance location, and there is no formal set-aside designation declared, meaning the prime contractor is seeking support to meet broader socioeconomic goals rather than a specific procurement reserved for particular categories. The subcontractor must possess and maintain active certifications for one or more of the eligible business categories, demonstrate proven experience in managing joint ventures, and provide documented compliance mechanisms to verify participation and impact. All activities are intended to enhance the prime contractor’s ability to meet federal contracting obligations while advancing equitable economic development goals within the defense supply chain.
