This procurement action is being solicited as a small business cascading set-aside. Task order awards resulting from this procurement action will be solicited using the following cascading set-aside order of preference: 1) In accordance with FAR Subpart 19.13, award will be made on a competitive basis first to responsible, eligible HUBZone small business concerns that submits a fair and reasonable price. (Refer to Section I, Clause 1.2, 52.219-3, Notice of Total HUBZone Set-Aside.

(Refer to Section I, Clause 1.2, 52.219-27, Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside; and 3) If a fair and reasonable price cannot be obtained from either a HUBZone small business concern or a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, consideration will be to make award in accordance with FAR Subpart 19.5, to a responsible small business concerns that submits a fair and reasonable price. (Refer to Section I, Clause 1.2, 52.219-6, Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside. For purposes of determining a fair and reasonable price, a 10% factor will be used. For example, if a Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business and a Small Business submit a lower overall quote but the difference is 10% or less compared to a HUB Zone Business, then the HUB Zone Business would be awarded the contract. To be awarded the contract, the Small Business would have to be more than 10% less than both the HUB Zone and Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business.
