If we do not receive enough competition and/or reasonably priced offers from the ISBEE set-aside, we will then evaluate quotes and consider for award to other small business concerns. Any acquisition resulting from this cascading set-aside will be from such a concern as follows:

1st Tier: Small Business Indian Firms

2nd Tier: Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

3rd Tier: Certified HubZone Small Business

4th Tier: Small Disadvantaged Business

5th Tier: All Other Small Business Concerns

Offers received from enterprises that are not one of these small business concerns will not be considered at this time.
