SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES
Small Business Participation
SBA strongly supports the participation of small
business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules
Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA
policy allows agencies to include in their procurement
base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be
placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to
report accomplishments against these goals.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase
threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the
catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or
consider reasonably available information by using the
GSA AdvantagelTM on-line shopping service
(www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA
Advantage!TM and the Federal Supply Service Home Page
(www.fss.gsa.gov) contains information on a broad array
of products and services offered by small business
concerns.
This information should be used as a tool to
assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding
established small business goals. It should also be used
as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged,
and women -owned small businesses among those
considered when selecting pricelists for a best value
determination.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase
threshold, customers are to give preference to small
business concerns when two or more items at the same
delivered price will satisfy their requirement.
