Only those firms meeting the Small Business Administration's (SBA) criterion, and have previously been certified by the SBA as an 8(a) Contractor, are eligible to compete for this procurement.

IAW 13 CFR 124.501(g)(4) Before a Participant may be awarded either a sole source or competitive 8(a) contract, SBA must determine that the Participant is eligible for award.

Eligibility is based on 8(a) BD program criteria, including whether the 8(a) Participant has a bona fide place of business in the applicable geographic area if the procurement is for construction.

It has been determined by the SBA that competition will be restricted to 8(a) firms which have a NAICS code of 237110 among their approved NAICS Codes. The SBA South Florida District Office located at 51 SW 1st Ave., Suite 201, Miami, FL 33130, will determine the apparent successful offeror’s eligibility to receive the contract award, subject to the availability of funds.
