7. “I noted, with interest, your posting regarding museum and archives support. As my company, LAC Group specializes in this work, we were very intrigued. I do have one quick question, however, as there does appear to be some confusion regarding the set-aside being used.

On the SF-1449 and 52.212-5(a)(14)(i) the RFQ is listed as a small business set aside. However, in L.1 it states (emphasis added) and the FBO posting has N/A in the side bar, but the text does say Small Business Set Aside. Can you confirm whether this RFQ is intended as a set aside for small business or if it is full and open?”

Answer: L-1 unrestricted is a typo. It will be changed to 100% Small Business Set-a-Side.
