Vendors must also demonstrate current SAM registration, provide their Cage Code, primary NAICS designation, business size classification, and socio-economic status such as 8(a), HUBZone, or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business status.

Compliance with E-Verify under FAR 52.222-54, mandatory security training within thirty days of award, and adherence to Force Protection Conditions and access control requirements at federal installations are essential prerequisites for future contract performance.
