What is the new set-aside parity algorithm for solicitation set asides and when will it be applied?
OMB Memorandum M-09-23, dated July 10, 2009, affirmed that Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations provide for parity among all small business programs. This means that I-BPAs awarded in 2010 and beyond will use this new policy and treat HUBZone, SDVOSB, and 8(a) vendors equally if the solicitation is set aside for multiple preference programs. However, I-BPAs awarded prior to 2010 will not apply this new policy retroactively to previous awards. With this new policy, the resources on the DPL are still ranked according to the set-aside status of the solicitation and the best CBA score; however, now HUBZone and SDVOSB vendors are treated equally if the solicitation is set aside for both of those programs. The set asides will be applied as follows: • If the solicitation has no set-asides, vendors are only ranked by CBA scores. • Preference is only given to HUBZone and Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) if the solicitation is set aside for that specific busin
