Can an agency get 8(a) credit for ordering from a Federal Supply Schedule from a company certified by SBA under the 8(a) program?
Yes, if the company has elected for its orders to be counted toward its 8(a) competitive mix and to allow for its orders to be counted as sales under the 8(a) program. If a company does not elect for them to be counted as 8(a) orders, then the agency will get credit for the order under the small disadvantage business (SDB) category. The agency will get credit toward its SDB goals, even if the FSS order was awarded under full-and-open-competition.
