Eligibility / Set-Aside
Market research indicates that while small businesses exist in the travel agent sector, the complexity and global reach required by the Peace Corps necessitate capabilities often found in large businesses or large businesses teamed with small businesses. The consolidation is not expected to negatively impact small business opportunities and may even improve them through teaming agreements. Previous solicitations for these services did not receive significant small business participation. No specific set-aside is declared for the future consolidated solicitation at this D&F stage.
