This information will be used by the Contracting Officer to assist in developing the procurement strategy, including whether a small business set-aside can be established, if the requirement should be sole sourced to large business, or whether small businesses and large businesses should be able to compete for work.

Note that if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability among small businesses, a key factor in determining if an acquisition will be a small business set-aside is that two or more potential small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort, as defined in RFO FAR clause 52.219-14.
