Sole-Source directly to Agil3 Technology Solutions
We are 8(a) certified and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business certified by the US Small Business Administration.
As an 8(a) participant, we can receive sole-source contracts up to $4.5 million, and up to $4.5 million as an EDWOSB participant.
Our status facilitates non-protestable awards in as few as 5 business days.
Benefits
The Sole-Source process saves significant time and money, and allows ease of access to specialized technological skills and expertise, for example:
- Simplifies procurement process for Contracting Officers and Procurement Officials
- Speeds up a contracting process (Awards in as short as five (5) days)
- Allows Contracting officers to work directly with A3T; do not have to solicit bids
- Cut through the red tape. There is no delay in obtaining approval of the sole-source selection. There is no need to develop rigorous specifications for evaluation of bidders. There is no pre-award documentation.
- Starts your Project on time. Non-protestable awards
- Quick access to specialized skills and expertise. While the main purpose of the 8(a) program is to develop 8(a) companies, the rules and regulations of the program recognize that a small business may not always possess the entire breadth of skills required by the procurement officials. For this reason A3T is authorized to subcontract portions of the work to other companies.
- Fueling our economic recovery working with A3T, a small business that creates jobs and delivers quality solutions to our customers.
Creating Value and Empowerment Through Simplicity
Steps to Establish 8(a) Sole-Source
Sole-Source directly via a Single award up to $4.5M
Any Federal agency can identify work especially suited for A3T, an 8(a) firm, and can set-aside the project without advertising in beta.sam.gov/Commerce Business Daily. This allows the Federal agency to directly award a professional service contract to an 8(a) firm without lengthy contracting delays.
If this option is chosen, the steps typically followed for working with A3T under an 8(a) contract are as follows:
- The agency's program manager or project manager (authorized procurement officials) authors a statement of work, prepares a government estimate, identifies the NAICS Code that applies to the principal nature of the acquisition, and allocates funds.
- The agency chooses A3T to perform the work.
- An authorization to negotiate is obtained from the SBA by filling out what is called a Small Business Coordination Record form. The authorized procurement official may consult with their Small Business Program Office and/or the agency's contracting office in order to complete the Business Coordination Record or a Procurement Request Form, depending on the agency. Federal departments typically have different forms. For example, the DOD agencies use DD Form 2579.
- The prepared contract documents must include the following statement: "Request procurement be made pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act 15 U.S.C. 637(a) and in accordance with FAR 19.8."
- Once the procurement request has been made, the Small Business Deputy or the Contract Officer prepares an offer letter or a proposed project form (FAR 19.804-2). Download 8(a) Offer Letter template for the Washington Metropolitan Area District Office. E-mail 8(a) Offering Letter to dcofferletters@sba.gov.
- SBA processes the Offer Letter and returns it to the agency contracting officer who submits the Statement of Work and Request for Proposal or Quotation to Agil3 Technology Solutions, LLC.
- A3T submits the proposal package which is evaluated and negotiated (as needed) by the agency.
- The contract is awarded in a short period of time to A3T.
Sole-Source an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for specialized Cyber Security Services
When an agency finds an 8(a) company, such as A3T, that they would like to utilize on a regular basis, the agency can choose to award a sole-source Cyber Security Services IDIQ contract.
Preparation of this IDIQ is very cost-effective for the agency as it minimizes the length of time involved in contracting out individual task orders and it is not as costly and time-consuming to award as a competitive IDIQ.
This type of contracting mechanism can be awarded very much like the sole-source contracts described above.
Sole-Source a Basic Order Agreement (BOA)/Basic Purchasing Agreement (BPA)
A Basic Order Agreement (BOA) can also be awarded on a sole-source basis under the 8(a) program. A BOA/BPA is a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between an agency, contracting activity, or contracting office and a contractor, that contains the following items:
- Terms, conditions, and clauses applying to future contracts (orders) between the parties during its term
- A specific description of supplies or services to be provided
- Methods for pricing, issuing, and delivering future orders under the Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA)
