(a) the purpose of set-aside by small enterprises is to allocate certain takeovers exclusively to small and medium-sized enterprises. « Set-aside for small businesses » is the reserve of an acquisition exclusively for the participation of small businesses. A small closed business can be open to all small businesses. A small business that takes over a single acquisition or a class of acquisitions may be in whole or in part. ii) At least 50% of the total cost of kit components must be manufactured, processed or manufactured in the United States or its remote areas by small companies according to the size standards of the NAICS codes for kit components. (1) Full set-aside is not feasible because there is no reasonable expectation of receiving competitive offers in terms of fair market prices, quality and delivery from at least two responsible small undertakings referred to in Article 19.000(a)(3) and which can meet all the requirements. and (d) the agent shall examine each individual acquisition resulting from set-aside of a small enterprise in the category in order to identify changes in the scope of requirements, specifications, delivery requirements or conditions of competition since the first set-aside authorisation of the category. If there are changes of such a significant nature that result in a likely payment of more than one fair market price by the government or a change in the ability of small businesses to meet the requirements, the contract agent may withdraw or modify the unilateral or joint set-aside by written notification to the representative of the SBA Supply Centre (see 19.506 (a)) If no representative of the supply centre is designated, see 19.402 (a)) setting out the reasons. b) If the Small Business Agencies Specialist does not accept a withdrawal or amendment, the matter will be immediately referred to the representative of the SBA for review (or, if no representative of a supply centre is assigned, see 19.402(a)).

(ii) SBA believes that progress towards the various objectives for small businesses, as well as other factors such as market research results, programmatic needs specific to the procurement organization, expected auction price and acquisition history will be taken into account in deciding which program to use for the acquisition. (2) If an order is cancelled at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, the Contractor may cancel the order for one of the small businesses referred to in paragraph 19,000(a)(3). (2) Provide that set-aside does not apply to an acquisition automatically reserved for small businesses in accordance with paragraph 19.502-2(a). (a) Before revoking any purchase under this paragraph, refer to paragraph 19 203(b). Any acquisition of supplies or services with a planned dollar value greater than $3,500 ($20,000 for acquisitions under paragraph 13 201(g)(1)), but not more than $150,000 ($750,000 for acquisitions under paragraph (1)(i) of the simplified definition of the acquisition threshold at 2,101), is automatically reserved exclusively for small businesses and will be reserved for small entities, unless the agent determines that: there is no reasonable expectation of offers from two or more responsible small businesses that are competitive in terms of market price, quality and delivery. If the contractor does not continue to close small businesses and purchase without restriction, he must include in the contract file the reason for this purchase without restriction. Where the contracting entity receives only an acceptable tender from a responsible small enterprise in response to set-aside, the contractor should award a contract to that enterprise. If the procuring entity does not receive acceptable tenders from responsible small enterprises, set-aside shall be withdrawn and, if still valid, the application shall be re-approved without restriction. The small business owner`s reservation does not preclude the award of a contract as described in paragraph 19.203. (1) Restrictions on subcontracting. A small business subject to subcontracting restrictions must comply with: (ii) Contracting directly with a small business for the work it may perform if there is only one type of small business identified in paragraph 19,000(a)(3).

3. Provide that set-aside applies only to the designated contracting entity or entities making the determination; and (b) Before issuing a call for items required in a dissolved small business, the contractor shall ensure that the delivery schedule is realistic, taking into account all relevant factors, including the capabilities of small businesses. (b) The item is on a planning list defined under the Industry Readiness Planning Program. However, a complete closure of small businesses cannot be achieved if the list includes a planned emergency producer of the large enterprise (the item) who has expressed a desire to supply some or all of the required items. (b) The decision to abolish a category of acquisitions for small enterprises may be taken unilaterally or jointly. 3. One or more small enterprises are expected to have the technical skills and production capacity to meet the share of decommissioning demand at a fair market price. (2) The award shall be made at prices in accordance with the market. The total freeze on small enterprises can only be achieved if there is such a reasonable expectation (see 19.502-3 on partial freezing).

While the past acquisition history of an item or similar item is always important, it is not the only factor that should be considered in determining whether there is a reasonable expectation. When setting aside small R&D, it is also to be reasonably expected that small businesses will obtain from small science and technology sources the best science and technology sources that meet the requirements of the proposed takeover for the best combination of costs, performance and schedules. (c) The determination of set-aside in each category of small enterprises must be made in writing and must: – (c) The contract agent shall insert the clause under 52.219-6, Notice on the total set-aside of small enterprises, in invitations and contracts concerning all freezes or reserves for small enterprises. This includes multi-award contracts where contracts may be reserved for one of the small businesses referred to in paragraph 19,000(a)(3), as described in paragraphs 8 405-5 and 16,505(b)(b)2(i)(F). The clause of 52.219-6 with its Power of Attorney I is used when the purchase of a product falls into a category for which the Small Business Administration has waived the non-manufacturer rule (see 19.102 (f) (4) and (5)). Use the clause of 52.219-6 with its alternative II if you include FPI in the competition according to 19.504. .
