(a) service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB);

(b) veteran-owned small business (VOSB);

(c) all other small business concerns;

(d) other than small business.

(2) If an award or a sufficient number of awards cannot be made at the first tier, evaluation of offers will proceed at the next lower tier until an award or a sufficient number of awards can be made.
