I am convinced a firm which bid in competition with me on a Federal set-aside procurement is not a small business. How can I prevent it from receiving the award?
If you are a small business bidder, you are an interested party in this procurement. Once the apparently successful offeror has been identified on a Request for Proposals or at a bid opening, you may challenge your competitor’s small business self- certification. Notify the contracting officer of the matter according to the procedures set forth in 13 CFR §§ 121.1001-1103. Your challenge must be timely and set forth specific alleged grounds. The contracting officer is required to forward the challenge to SBA for a size determination.
