SBA 8(a) Contracting Makes For Easy and Painless Procurement Awards

Your statutory fast path to contract award

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 award subcontracts for performing those contracts to firms eligible for program participation.  

The SBA 8(a) Advantage

Your award is measured in weeks, not months. We are former federal contracting officers who understand federal contracting and understands how to quickly process your offer. 

The Akiak Advantage

The Akiak Family of Companies can receive sole-source awards of any size and cannot be challenged or protested by another participant or any other party due to their status of a tribal-owned business. 

13 CFR 124.571(a)


Tribal 8(a) Sole source awards can be of any size for it is exempt from the $4M ceiling for civil agencies. Civilian agencies can sole source an award for up to $25M, while Defense can sole source an award for up to $100M. There is no requirement that a procurement must compete whenever possible before it can be accepted on a sole-source basis for a Tribally owned concern. 

FAR 6.303-1(b), DFARS 206.303-1(a) 


For acquisitions above the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers shall first consider the 8(a) program before considering small business set-asides.
