What are Set Asides?
Under the Small Business Act, federal agencies conduct a variety of procurements that are reserved exclusively for small business participation. These transactions are called “small business set-asides” and include the Small Business Reserve, Set-Asides above the simplified acquisition threshold, the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program, the HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program, and the Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program.
