Discussion Topics

Ceradyne, Inc. B , Feb 2010 Army awarded 4 IDIQ – 2 to LB and 2 to SB. Delivery orders competed among contract holders. Army set- aside three requirements for the 2 SBs. LB protested a subsequent SBSA of IDIQ orders. GAO: rule of two applies to competitions for task and delivery orders issued under MAC such as IDIQs. GAO Referenced Delex decision

Ceredyne, continued GAO: “agencies…need only make an informed business judgment that there is a reasonable expectation of receiving acceptably priced offers from SB concerns that are capable of performing the contract.” Protest denied – SBSA on MAC IDIQ was upheld.

Eagle Home Medical Corp, B , March 2010 VA did not change the NAICS code for a SBSA RFP after a protest; solicitation not amended. Buy was for rental and services; NAICS chosen was for supplies. Eagle appealed to OHA; OHA directed VA to change to services NAICS; VA did not. Eagle protested to GAO. GAO: Agreed with Eagle and SBA. “The agency violated procurement laws and regulations in failing to follow the OHA’s decision…”

Database Consolidation GSA awarded a contract to consolidate the following databases… FedBizOpps, Wage Determinations, CCR, Fed Agency Registration, ORCA, Past Performance Information Retrieval System, Excluded Parties List System, FPDS- NG, ESRS. IBM won GSA contract to merge databases. Cost savings, efficiency, streamlined tool anticipated.

Senate Bill – cleared committee Early March; Sen. Mary Landrieu Key areas: contract bundling, subcontracting, acquisition issues. Provisions to make subcontracting plans be evaluated on percentage of obligated dollars and as a percentage of subcontract awards; extend “bundling” rules to federal agencies; increase oversight of primes who team with SBs; address late payments to subcontractors; seek repeal of Comp Demo program; sets criteria for setting aside FSS & GWAC orders.

SBA Proposed Rule – March 2010 “Subtraction” – if a size decision (or appeal) occurs after award, KO must take some action (terminate award, not exercise option) and must apply the size decision to procurement for goal reporting purposes. NAICS on MACs – if a MAC has CLINS or SINs where awardees compete for orders, each CLIN or SIN should have single NAICS assigned. Gives SBA 15 days to decide size protest.

Program Parity SBA strongly supports legislation to clarify and reiterate Congress’ original intent not to prioritize one SB development program over another. DOJ letter states the Mission Critical opinion only applies to the specific contract at issue in the case and not to operation of SBA’s parity rule in general.

WOSB Program Restrict competition to WOSBs Six conditions to use WOSB reservation: Company is WOSB (51% owned/controlled); Rule of two applies; NTE $5 m (supplies) or $3 m (all other); Anticipate award at fair & reasonable price; WOSB is properly certified or self-certified; Requirement must be one of the designated NAICS codes.

WOSB Program WOSB and EDWOSB (economically disadvantaged) must be certified by a third-party (e.g., state or national group) or, Self-certify in ORCA. SBA proposes a WOSB repository of documents to support self-certification. (CCR already utilizes this approach.) Contracting officers, SBA, and the WOSB would have access to their information.
