Summary
Small Business Program Representations provision, specifically dated February 2024.
It outlines the definitions and criteria for various categories of small business concerns, including Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), and other classifications such as Small Disadvantaged Businesses and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Each definition specifies ownership requirements, management control, and certification processes as per the relevant Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sections.
The provision also includes representations that offerors must complete as part of their submissions. These representations confirm whether the offeror qualifies as a small business concern, a joint venture, or falls under specific categories such as EDWOSB or SDVOSB.
Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of accurate representation to avoid penalties under federal law for misrepresentation of business status. The document mandates that offerors provide their North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and corresponding size standards applicable to their acquisition, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations.
Furthermore, the document highlights the consequences of misrepresentation, which can include fines, imprisonment, administrative remedies like suspension or debarment, and ineligibility for future participation in federal programs. An alternate version of the provision allows for additional categorization based on ownership demographics for those claiming disadvantaged status.
This provision serves to ensure that federal contracting opportunities are equitably distributed among eligible small business concerns while maintaining compliance with established regulations.
