- This procurement is set-aside for eligible Section 8(a) firms pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) ?19.805, Competitive 8(a). Joint ventures must meet the requirements of 13 CFR ?124.513 to compete for these 8(a) competitive procurements and must be approved by SBA prior to award of any resulting contract. SBA?s mentor-prot?g? program allows an 8(a) firm to serve as the prot?g? and an experienced firm to serve as the mentor. Candidate mentor firms may include large business prime contractors. Under SBA?s mentor-prot?g? program, a mentor and prot?g? may joint venture (not merely team or have a prime contractor/subcontractor relationship) and be considered small for any federal procurement if the 8(a) firm meets the definition of small for the NAICS code assigned to the project. FAR clause 52.219-14 ?Limitations on Subcontracting? applies to all 8(a) contracts and specifies that the 8(a) firm must perform a certain percentage of the work with its own resources. The joint venture must perform the applicable percentage of work required and the 8(a) partner to the joint venture must perform a significant portion of the contract. In joint ventures under the SBA?s mentor-prot?g? program, the contents of the joint venture are specified by SBA and the agreement must be fair and equitable. The NAICS code for this procurement is 561210, Facilities Support Services. The small business size standard is $30 million. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is authorized by the Robert T.

FEMA?s Individual Assistance (IA) Program provides temporary housing assistance to disaster applicants in accordance with the Act.

Pre-placement interviews, Preliminary Damage Assessments, registration of applicants at DRCs or other field offices, etc?). The period of performance will be five years from date of award.
