GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

Change in Solicitation Procedures

Under the Small Business

Competitiveness Demonstration

Program

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy,

GSA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Title VII of the ‘‘Business

Opportunity Development Reform Act

of 1988’’ (Public Law 100–656)

established the Small Business

Competitiveness Demonstration

Program and designated nine (9)

agencies, including GSA, to conduct the

program over a four (4) year period from

January 1, 1989 to December 31, 1992.

The Small Business Opportunity

Enhancement Act of 1992 (Public Law

102–366) extended the demonstration

program until September 1996 and

made certain changes in the procedures

for operation of the demonstration

program. The law designated four (4)

industry groups for testing whether the

competitive capabilities of the specified

industry groups will enable them to

successfully compete on an unrestricted

basis. The four (4) industry groups are:

construction (except dredging);

architectural and engineering (A&E)

services (including surveying and

mapping); refuse systems and related

services (limited to trash/garbage

collection); and non-nuclear ship repair.

Under the program, when a

participating agency misses its small

business participation goal, restricted

competition is reinstituted only for

those contracting activities that failed to

attain the goal. The small business goal

is 40 percent of the total contract dollars

awarded for construction, trash/garbage

collection services, and non-nuclear

ship repair and 35 percent of the total
