In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.503(a)(2), this preaward notice provides small business offerors an opportunity to file protests regarding the apparent successful offeror's size or small business status representation prior to or immediately following award.
Small business offerors and other interested parties must submit any size or status protests to the contracting officer by the close of business on March 12, 2026 (the fifth business day after the notice was posted to SAM.gov) in order for the protest to be considered timely and to affect this specific solicitation.

No response is required from offerors unless they have a basis to challenge the size status or small business designation of the apparently successful offeror. Contracting Officer Stephani N.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
Subject: SPECIAL NOTICE, Preaward Notice for Small Business Programs, Contracting and Acquisition Support Services (CASS) Related Notice: HT001524R0010
In accordance with FAR 15.503(a)(2), a SPECIAL NOTICE providing preward notice to small business offerors will be posted to the GPE (SAM.gov) today, 5 March 2026, prior to the award of contracts pursuant to the CASS acquisition, which is anticipated for Wednesday, 11 March 2026. When using a small business set-aside, as here (see FAR Subpart 19.5), “the contracting officer shall notify each offeror in writing prior to award . . . .” FAR 15.503(a)(2). This preaward notification for small businesses allows small business offerors an opportunity to protest an apparent successful offeror’s small-business size representation prior to award of a contract or immediately thereafter. See FAR 19.302(d). A size protest filed prior to notice being made of the selection of the apparent successful offeror(s) would be dismissed as premature by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
FAR 19.302(d)(4). Upon receipt of the SPECIAL NOTICE identifying the apparent successful offeror(s), any concern or other interested party may file a protest with the contracting officer; however, in order to be considered “timely” it must be received by the contracting officer by the close of business of the fifth business day after the SPECIAL NOTICE is received. See FAR 19.302(d)(1). A protest must be timely in order to affect a specific solicitation. FAR 19.302(d).
Therefore, the following SPECIAL NOTICE will be posted to the GPE (in relevant part):
