Join us on Wednesday, March 25, at 2:00 PM for a live webinar on the uniform contract format. Sign up on our webinar page and get a head start with this blog post.
Although solicitations will have different documents attached, each will follow a uniform contract format. The uniform contract format is explained in FAR 15.204-1. It defines how contracting officers should write solicitations in a consistent format for quick and easy navigation.
On this week of USFCR Academy Live, we're covering FAR Part 52. This section includes the Buy American Act. You can sign up to attend on our webinar page and learn more about the Buy American Act in this blog post.
Each year, the federal government aims to allocate approximately 23% of its total contracting budget to small businesses, with separate goals established for specific types of small businesses.
These specific types are commonly referred to as "set-asides," as the government reserves a certain percentage of their spending for these businesses.
Small business set-asides, as defined in FAR 19.5:
"The purpose of small business set-asides is to award certain acquisitions exclusively to small business concerns. A 'set-aside for small business' is the reserving of an acquisition exclusively for participation by small business concerns. A small business set-aside may be open to all small businesses. A small business set-aside of a single acquisition or a class of acquisitions may be total or partial."
