DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT

1. Purpose:

Per FAR 19.1405(b)(2), SDVOSB set-asides require receipt of offers at a fair market price.

Although offers were received from eligible SDVOSB firms, the prices were evaluated and found to exceed fair market value.

2. Set-Aside Status Change:

Effective 19 May 2026, the SDVOSB set-aside is withdrawn. The solicitation is now a small-business set-aside in accordance with FAR Part 19.5.

3. Amendments to Proposal Documents:

o Section L, Proposal Instructions: Replace “SDVOSB only” with “small business only.”

o Section M, Evaluation Criteria: Update relevant language to reflect a small-business competition.

4. Offer Due Date:

Extend proposal due date to 8 June 2026, 3:00PM Eastern Time, to allow additional opportunity for small businesses to respond.

5. Clause Revisions:

Remove FAR clause 52.219-27 (Notice of SDVOSB Set-Aside). Add or replace with 52.219- 1 (Small Business Set-Aside Notice).

6. Justification Record:

A written justification is prepared, documenting price evaluation results demonstrating that SDVOSB offers exceeded fair market price. This is retained in the contract file, in compliance with FAR 19.502-9(a) (withdrawal for public interest/detriment to public interest due to unreasonable prices).

ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.

Regulatory Basis for Withdrawing SDVOSB Set-Aside on Price Grounds

• FAR 19.1405(b) states SDVOSB set-asides require two or more eligible SDVOSB offers and award at a fair market price; if prices are not fair, the set-aside must be withdrawn

• FAR 19.502-9(a) authorizes withdrawal of a small-business set-aside—including SDVOSB set-asides—if award would result in paying more than fair market price, and requires written documentation detailing reasons

This SF 30 amendment ensures compliance with FAR when SDVOSB offers do not meet price reasonableness standards, transitioning the competition to a broader small-business pool.
