Eligibility & Set-Aside
While the SF 1449 Block 10 indicates this acquisition is UNRESTRICTED, VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) clauses 852.219-73 and 852.219-75 specify requirements for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and adherence to limitations on subcontracting. This suggests a strong preference or effective set-aside for SDVOSBs.
