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 a small business set-aside is established, then FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, applies. 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 FAR clause 52.219-14.
