SBA 8(a) Certified

A Certified SBA 8(a) Corporation

“Your Sole Source”

So why would you use an 8(a) company, more specifically Power Solutions Electric, Inc., for your program requirements?

What is 8(a)? Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(a) established a program that authorizes the Small Business Administration (SBA) to enter into all types of contracts with other agencies and let subcontracts for performing those contracts to firms eligible for program participation. The SBA’s subcontractors are referred to as “8(a) contractors.”

What are the advantages of using 8(a) contractors for my requirements? Contracts can be directly awarded to an 8(a) firm, up to $4M for Services and $6M for Manufacturing, without must of the normal contracting process overheads:

• A qualified 8(a) firm is considered to be a sole source justification which means Justification & Approval (J&A) is not required for contract award per FAR 6.204, FAR 6.302-5(b)(4), and 15 U.S.C. 637.
• 8(a) contracts are one of the exceptions listed in FAR 5.202(a)(4), which waive the requirement to publish the synopses of contract actions for section 8(a) of the Small Business Act.
• Can continue to use same 8(a) firm for follow-on contracts per FAR 19.805-2(d).
• 8(a) contracts can be issued much quicker than other processes, even IDIQ type task orders.
• Even over the $4M/$6M threshold SBA may accept sole source if there is not a reasonable expectation that at least two eligible and responsible 8(a) firms will submit offers at a fair market price per FAR 19.805-1(b).
