Set-Aside Contracts

How do simplified acquisition procedures benefit SDVOSBs?

Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) apply to contracts between $10,000 and $250,000. Under SAP, agencies must set aside acquisitions for small businesses if the rule of two is met — and within that, SDVOSB set-asides take priority. SAP contracts have less documentation burden and faster award timelines than large contracts. SDVOSBs should actively monitor SAM.gov for SAP solicitations in their NAICS codes.
