Subpart 2419.8 - Small Business Administration Section (8)(a) Program    **Parent topic:**  PART 2419 - SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMS2419.800 General.       (f) By Partnership Agreement between the SBA and HUD, the SBA delegated to HUD's Senior Procurement Executive its authority under paragraph 8(a)(1)(A) of the Small Business Act (5 U.S.C. 637(a)) to enter into 8(a) prime contracts, and its authority under 8(a)(1)(B) of the Small Business Act to award the performance of those contracts to eligible 8(a) Program participants. Under the Partnership Agreement, a contract may be awarded directly to an 8(a) firm on either a sole-source or competitive basis. The SBA reserves the right to withdraw the delegation issued as a result of the Partnership Agreement; however, any such withdrawal shall have no effect on contracts already awarded under the Partnership Agreement.2419.803 Selecting acquisitions for the 8(a) Program.2419.803-70 Procedures for simplified acquisitions under the partnership agreement.       (a) HUD contracting officers may use the procedures of FAR part 13 and HUDAR part 2413 to make purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold from 8(a) Participants. The following apply to such acquisitions:          (1) Neither offering letters to, nor acceptance letters from the SBA are required.          (2) The contracting officer will use the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database on the Internet (*http://www.ccr.gov*) to establish that the selected 8(a) firm is a current program participant.          (b) Once an 8(a) contractor has been identified, the contracting officer will establish the price with the selected 8(a) contractor.          (c) For acquisitions requiring an award document (e.g., purchase order), the contracting officer will:          (1) Prepare and issue an award document in accordance with the applicable provisions of FAR part 13 and HUDAR part 2413. The applicable clauses prescribed in 2419.811-3 shall be included in the award document. The contracting officer will issue the award document directly to the 8(a) firm; and          (2) Forward to the SBA District Office serving the 8(a) firm a copy of the award document within 5 days after the award is issued.2419.804 Evaluation, offering, and acceptance.2419.804-2 Agency offering.       (d) When applicable, the notification must identify that the offering is in accordance with the Partnership Agreement identified in 2419.800.2419.804-3 SBA acceptance.2419.804-370 SBA acceptance under partnership agreements for acquisitions exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.       (a) The following procedures apply to the acceptance of requirements covered by the Partnership Agreement for acquisitions that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.          (1) The SBA's decision whether to accept the requirement will be transmitted to HUD in writing within 5 working days of receipt of the offer.          (2) The SBA may request, and HUD may grant, an extension beyond the 5-day limit.          (3) SBA's acceptance letters should be faxed or emailed to HUD.          (4) If HUD has not received an acceptance or rejection of the offering from SBA within 5 days of SBA's receipt of the offering letter, the contracting officer may assume that the requirement has been accepted and proceed with the acquisition.          (b) The contents of SBA's acceptance letter shall be limited to the eligibility of the recommended 8(a) contractor.2419.805 Competitive 8(a).2419.805-2 Procedures.       (b)(3) For requirements exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold that are processed under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, the contracting officer shall submit the name, address, and telephone number of the low bidder (sealed bid requirements) or the apparent successful offeror (negotiated acquisitions) to the SBA Business Opportunity Specialist at the field office servicing the identified 8(a) firm. The SBA will determine the eligibility of the firm(s) and advise the contracting officer within 2 working days of the receipt of the request. If the firm is determined to be ineligible, the contracting officer will submit information on the next low offeror or next apparent successful offeror (as applicable) to the cognizant SBA field office.2419.806 Pricing the 8(a) contract.       (a) For contracts awarded under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, when required by FAR subpart 15.4, the contracting officer shall obtain certified cost or pricing data directly from the 8(a) contractor.2419.808 Contract negotiation.2419.808-1 Sole source.       (a) If the acquisition is conducted under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, the 8(a) contractor is responsible for negotiating with HUD within the time frame established by the contracting officer. If the 8(a) contractor does not negotiate within the established time frame, and HUD cannot allow additional time, HUD, after notification and approval by SBA, may proceed with the acquisition from other sources.          (b) If the acquisition is conducted under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, HUD is delegated the authority to negotiate directly with the 8(a) participant; however, if requested by the 8(a) participant, the SBA may participate in negotiations.2419.811 Preparing the contracts.2419.811-1 Sole source.       (e) If the award is to be made under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, the contracting officer shall prepare the instrument to be awarded to the 8(a) firm in accordance with the normal HUD procedures for non-8(a) contracts, except for the following:          (1) The award form shall cite 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(5) and 15 U.S.C. 637(a) as the authority for use of other than full and open competition.          (2) The contracting officer shall include appropriate contract clauses, as necessary, to reflect that the acquisition is an 8(a) contract awarded under the authority of the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800.          (3) The contracting officer shall include SBA's requirement number on the contract unless the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.          (4) A single award document shall be used between HUD and the 8(a) contractor. As such, no signature on the part of the SBA is required; a single signature by the HUD contracting officer shall suffice. The 8(a) contractor's signature shall be placed on the award document as the prime contractor. The 8(a) contractor's name and address shall be placed in the “awarded to” or “contractor name” block on the appropriate forms.2419.811-2 Competitive.       (a) If the award is to be made under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, competitive contracts for 8(a) firms shall be prepared in accordance with the same standards as 8(a) sole-source contracts as set forth in 2419.811-1.          (b) If the acquisition is conducted under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800, the process for obtaining signatures shall be as specified in 2419.811-1(e).2419.811-3 Contract clauses.       (d)(3) The contracting officer shall use the clause at FAR 52.219-18, “Notification of Competition Limited to Eligible 8(a) Concerns,” with the clause at 2452.219-71, “Notification of Competition Limited to Eligible 8(a) Concerns - Alternate III to FAR 52.219-18,” for competitive 8(a) acquisitions processed under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800.          (f) In contracts and purchase orders awarded under the Partnership Agreement cited at 2419.800, the contracting officer shall substitute the clause at 2452.219-72, Section 8(a) Direct Award, for the clauses at FAR 52.219-11, “Special 8(a) Contract Conditions;” FAR 52.219-12, “Special 8(a) Subcontract Conditions;” and FAR 52.219-17, “Section 8(a) Award.”2419.812 Contract administration.       (e) Awards under the Partnership Agreement cited in 2419.800 are subject to 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(21). These contracts contain the clause at 2452.219-71, Section 8(a) Direct Award (Deviation), which requires the 8(a) contractor to notify the SBA and the HUD contracting officer when ownership of the firm is being transferred.
