Order of preference for DIG procurements over

Small business set-asides may not be used except for Reference: Department of the Interior Acquisition Policy Release 2008-2, 3/11/2008 |
Notes:
1 - Comptroller General, in protest decision B-400278, B-400308, 9/19/2008, has taken exception to language of the SBA regulations that gave equal preference to HUBZone and SDVOSB set-asides. In making this ruling the GAO looked beyond the regulations to the language of the authorizing statutes. While 8(a) and SDVOSB set-asides are made at the CO's discretion, the HUBZone set-aside is mandatory.
2 - The term "unrestricted competition" refers to competitive procedures of FAR Parts 12, 13, 14, 15 or 36, as would otherwise apply to the commodity and dollar value of the procurement.
3 - ESB reserve amounts are defined in FAR 19.1002.
