8(a) PROGRAM BACKGROUND:
Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act created a business development program that enables the SBA to assist small disadvantaged firms to develop their businesses. A firm is rigorously evaluated on its ownership, operations, financial health and past performance before being admitted to the program. Once accepted, the firm is required to provide SBA a detailed business plan and show continued success as a viable, strong business entity. The program runs for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal Agencies allowing them to contact directly with certified 8(a) firms. Participants can receive sole source contracts, up to a ceiling of $4 million for services and $7M for manufacturing.
