Direct Award to Agil3 Technology Solutions
We are a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certified by the US Small Business Administration.
Sole-Source up to $5.0M for SDVOSB and $5.5M for WOSB for a Single award.
Creating Value and Empowerment Through Simplicity
Steps to Establish a Direct Award
Direct Award via a Single award up to $5.5M
Any Federal agency can identify work well-suited to A3T — a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) — and award it directly to A3T on a sole-source basis, without running a full competitive solicitation.
Under FAR 19.1406 (SDVOSB) and FAR 19.1506 (WOSB), a contracting officer can make a streamlined sole-source award for professional services when the anticipated value (including options) is within the program ceiling — currently $5.0M for SDVOSB and $5.5M for WOSB on services/IT (non-manufacturing) requirements — the officer does not reasonably expect two or more eligible small businesses to compete, A3T is a responsible contractor, and the price is fair and reasonable.
Unlike the 8(a) program, SDVOSB and WOSB sole-source awards require no SBA offer-and-acceptance step, shortening the path to award.
Typical steps for a sole-source award to A3T:
- The agency's contracting officer, program manager, or project manager defines the requirement — drafts the SOW/PWS, prepares an independent government estimate, assigns the NAICS code reflecting the principal purpose of the acquisition, and identifies funding.
- Through market research, the CO determines there is no reasonable expectation of receiving offers from two or more eligible SDVOSBs (or WOSBs) the condition supporting a sole-source award rather than a competitive set-aside. For WOSB, the CO also confirms the assigned NAICS is one SBA has designated as underrepresented/substantially underrepresented.
- The CO confirms the anticipated value, including options, is within the sole-source ceiling ($5.0M SDVOSB / $5.5M WOSB for non-manufacturing NAICS).
- The CO verifies A3T 's eligibility — active SBA certification (SDVOSB via VetCert and/or WOSB) and current SAM registration — and makes an affirmative responsibility determination.
- On DoD acquisitions, the CO completes internal small-business coordination review (e.g., DD Form 2579) with the agency's Office of Small Business Programs; civilian agencies use their equivalent review.
- The CO issues the SOW/PWS and request for proposal or quotation directly to A3T, incorporating the applicable notice clause (FAR 52.219-27 for SDVOSB or 52.219-30 for WOSB).
- A3T submits its proposal; the agency evaluates and negotiates as needed and confirms price reasonableness.
- The CO documents the sole-source determination and awards to A3T — typically far faster than full and open competition.
Direct Award (Sole-Source) Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for Specialized Cyber Security or Digital Modernization Services
When an agency identifies a small business like A3T — a certified SDVOSB and WOSB — that it expects to use on a recurring basis for specialized cybersecurity work, it can establish a direct (sole-source) Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under FAR 19.1406 (SDVOSB) or FAR 19.1506 (WOSB), then issue task orders against it as needs arise.
This is cost-effective for the agency: a single IDIQ removes the time and expense of competing each task order individually, and it is far quicker and less resource-intensive to put in place than a competitive IDIQ.
A direct-award IDIQ is established using the same conditions described above, with one program limit to plan around: the dollar ceiling applies to the contract's total anticipated value — all orders and option periods combined — currently $5M for SDVOSB and $5.5M for WOSB on services/IT (non-manufacturing) requirements. As long as the IDIQ's expected aggregate value stays within that ceiling, the agency can award it directly to A3T and order against it as work arises.
Direct Award (Sole-Source): Basic Order Agreement (BOA)/Basic Purchasing Agreement (BPA)
An agency with recurring requirements can also put a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in place directly with A3T — a certified SDVOSB and WOSB — and then issue orders against it as needs arise, without competing each order separately.
A BOA is a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between the agency (its contracting activity or contracting office) and A3T, that establishes in advance:
- the terms, conditions, and clauses that will apply to future orders (contracts) during its term;
- a specific description of the supplies or services to be provided; and
- the methods for pricing, issuing, and delivering future orders under the agreement.
A BPA works similarly, as a simplified method for filling anticipated repetitive needs. In both cases, each order is placed directly with A3T under the agreement's pre-negotiated terms — giving the agency a fast, low-overhead path to follow-on work.
