Set-Aside Alert Exclusive: Looking for 8(a) federal contracts?

The Top 77 8(a) Set-Aside Opportunities of 2015

For companies in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program, one of the best ways to scout for new opportunities is to look for 8(a) set-aside contracts expiring in the coming months.

Under current rules, if a contract was designated an 8(a) set-aside, it generally must remain an 8(a) set-aside if it is recompeted. That presents a huge opportunity for 8(a) firms willing and able to compete for the contracts.

Anyone can find those expiring contracts in the Federal Procurement Data System, but we wanted to make it easy for you.

Set-Aside Alert did the work and applied a few other research tools to identify the largest upcoming 8(a) set-aside opportunities for the top federal agencies in 2015.

Here is our list of the “Top 77 8(a) Set-Aside Opportunities of 2015” available in this issue of Set-Aside Alert.

All have completion dates in calendar 2015. Many are ongoing requirements likely to be recompeted. We focused on large contracts and contracts not held by Alaska Native Corporations, which have special authorities.
