Small Business Administration 8(a) Program
SBA 8(a) Sole Source
Background
The 8(a) Program -- named for Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act – is a business development program created to help small disadvantaged businesses compete in the market place. It is also designed to assist such companies in gaining access to federal and private procurement markets. The focus of the program is to provide business development support, such as mentoring, procurement assistance, business counseling, training, financial assistance, surety bonding and other management and technical assistance. The goal, however, is to prepare small disadvantaged firms for procurement and other business opportunities.
Koi Computers, Inc. received its 8(a) certification in April 2008 and is expected to graduate from the program in April 2017.
Benefits of the Program
One of the business development tools of the 8(a) program is the award of federal contracts. Under the program, SBA acts as a prime contractor and enters into contracts with other federal government departments and agencies. In its role as a prime contractor, SBA awards subcontracts for their performance by certified companies in the program.
One key benefit of the 8(a) program is the opportunity to receive “sole source” contracts (not exceeding $3.5M for services and $5.5M for manufacturing). Participants in the 8(a) program are also eligible to bid on “set aside” contracts with other participants in the 8(a) program.
To find out how to establish an 8(a) sole source contract with Koi Computers, Inc., please contact our Contract Compliance Officer, Catherine Ho, at (630) 627-8811.
