8(a) Sole Source Process

8(a) Sole Source Process for Precision HealthCare


8(a) Regulations:

Federal law allows Agencies to award sole source contracts to the SBA on behalf of an eligible 8(a) firm of their choice. Contracts can be awarded in limits up to $6.5 million for manufacturing NAICS codes and $4.5 million for all other contracts. (FAR 19-8-)

8(a) Benefits & Advantages:

  • Streamlined acquisitions process

  • Supports mission readiness…alleviates 60-90 days acquisition time

  • Qualified contractor of choice

  • Obtainment of 8(a) small business goals

  • Expedited negotiations
  • How to award a streamlined 8(a) Sole Source Contract:

  • The Government Program Manager (PM) develops a Statement of Work and secures funding.

  •  Having chosen Precision to perform the work, the PM submits a Procurement Request to his/her agency Contracting Officer (CO).

  •  The CO sends an Offer Letter (including agency contact person’s name, telephone, e-mail address and FAX) and a Statement of Work (SOW) via email to: dcofferletters@sba.gov requesting permission to conduct sole source negotiations with Precision . (Precision will have already alerted the Business Opportunity Specialist to expect the package in order to expedite the process.)

  • The SBA confirms eligibility of Precision and authorizes the negotiations – usually within 48 hours.

  •  The CO sends Precision a Statement of Work and a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ).

  •  Trinity submits a proposal to the Government Program Manager and CO for evaluation.

  •  The CO negotiates with Trinity.
    Simplified Acquisition efforts do not require a technical proposal; the CO sends RFP to Precision requesting cost proposal; upon receipt, CO negotiates cost and terms with Precision . If the estimate exceeds the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the CO sends RFP to Precision requesting technical and cost proposals; upon receipt, CO negotiates cost and terms with Precision.

  •  Upon completion of negotiations, CO prepares a contract award document and sends to Precision for signature.

  •  Upon receipt of the fully executed contract from the CO, the contract period of performance begins at the stated date in the contract.
  • Length of Process:

    This entire acquisition process should be two weeks or less in duration
