The Offeror also must inform SBA of any unfair advantage it may have in receiving a contract award.

The second paragraph requires that an Offeror inform SBA if it has contracted to provide a list of previous SBA services provided to SBA, another government agency or to the private sector, or has had private sector employment (including consulting) within the past 12 months.
