Special notice to Small business: Small Business Administration (SBA) rules on affiliation, teaming and limitations of subcontracting have changed. Briefly, in pursuing a set-aside contract small business may now team together (and even affiliate) and be eligible for award of a set-aside contract. Prior to rule change a contracting officer could set aside a procurement when there was an expectation of two or more competitive offers from small business prime contractors who would perform at least 50% of the services in house. The new affiliation rules allow a set-aside when there is an expectation of two or more competitive offers from small business teams (small business prime contractor with small and large business subcontractors), when at least 50% of the services will be preformed by the collective efforts of all small business members of the team.
