8(a) and EDWOSB Advantage:
Consultech Environmental (Consultech) is certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as an 8(a) , Small Disadvantage Business (SDB) and as an Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). Consultech’s 8(a) certification is valid through April 30, 2018.
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 19 allows for federal agencies to issue sole source contracts to qualified SBA approved 8(a) and EDWOSB contractors. In general, Business Development Specialist (BDS) of every certified firm works with the government agencies to facilitate the contract process. Under the current signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) between the SBA and various federal Agencies, direct contracts may be awarded to the certified 8(a) and EDWOSB firms, up to a ceiling of $4 million for goods and services.
Basic Steps to Establish 8(a) Sole Source Contract with Consultech Environmental:
- 1. The Government program manager or interested party develops a statement of work, prepares a government estimate, and obtains the necessary funding.
- 2. The Government program manager or interested party chooses Consultech to perform the required work and submits a procurement request to the agency contracting officer.
- 3. The agency’s contracting officer prepares and submits an “Offer Letter” to Consultech’s SBA Business Development Specialist (BDS), Robert Tarleton (robert.tarleton@sba.gov. 704-344-6567).
- 4. Upon coordinating with Consultech, SBA’s BDS subsequently processes the Offer Letter and returns it to the agency contracting officer who submits the Statement of Work and Request for Proposal or Quotation to Consultech.
- 5. Consultech submits the proposal which is evaluated and negotiated (if necessary) by the agency.
- 6. The contract is awarded to Consultech.
These steps can be accomplished within few days in most cases. It is also worthwhile to mention that Consultech has a great working relationship with the SBA‐assigned BDS who is willing to help clarify any issue related to 8(a) program and facilitate any contract award.
