The Problems with FBO Reactive 80% are a virtual lock for competition
10% will never be awarded 10% - That are winnable will likely have more than 5 competitors 7,500 Winnable Opportunities

What Doesn’t Hit FBO... • Less than $25k. • GSA eBuy
• IDIQ task orders • BPA calls • “choice of two” • Simplified acquisition (up to $150k) • Sole source manufacturing contracts up to $7M • Sole source contracts other than manufacturing up to $4M • “Shortlisted” between 2 or more small businesses • Emergency acquisitions
