SBA 8(a)
U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program

(Program eligible through May 2026) The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program is a nine-year program created to help socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs gain access to the federal marketplace. Contact us to discuss how the unique attributes of this procurement vehicle can deliver speed and efficiency for your acquisition strategy without compromising quality or creativity for your program.

To help provide a level playing field for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the 8(a) Business Development program.

Disadvantaged businesses in the 8(a) program can:
- - Compete for set-aside and sole-source contracts in the program.
  - Get a Business Opportunity Specialist to help navigate federal contracting.
  - Form joint ventures with established businesses through the SBA's mentor-protégé program.
  - Receive management and technical assistance, including business training, counseling, marketing assistance, and high-level executive development.
Contact us to discuss how the unique attributes of this procurement vehicle can deliver speed and efficiency for your acquisition strategy without compromising quality, creativity, and innovation for your program. Check our track record then take advantage of this extraordinary vehicle and partner with an extraordinary company. If you would like to use the SBA's 8(a) procurement vehicle, use these Six Easy Steps to partner with Kaptivate through a sole source award.

The Small Business Administration SBA 8(a) Sole Source vehicle enables agencies to engage in direct buy contracts with certified contractors. As a Contract Officer, you can award a sole-source 8(a) contract to Kaptivate if:
- - You determine that Kaptivate is responsible and can perform the work.
  - The resulting contract can be awarded at a fair market price.
  - In our case--services--the government estimate doesn’t exceed $4.5 million.
Regulations governing the 8(a) program are outlined in 13 CFR 124 and FAR 19.8.

What is GSA MAS?

The MAS program provides eligible ordering activities with a simplified process for obtaining supplies and services. Schedule contracts are multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts, which are awarded to responsible companies that offer commercial supplies or services at fair and reasonable prices. Products and services are ordered directly from Schedule contractors.

Multiple Award Schedules are also known colloquially as “GSA numbers,” “GSA Schedules,” “GSA contracts,” “Federal Supply Schedules (FSS),” and the “GSA list.” All of these terms are used synonymously within the Federal contracting community to refer to the GSA MAS program. Through the MAS program, GSA contracts with thousands of commercial businesses that provide access to a vast array of professional services, such as management, financial, engineering, environmental, accounting, graphic design, and landscaping services. In addition to commercial services, commercial supplies range from computer hardware to office supplies.

Why Use GSA MAS?

Price: Schedule contracts typically include prices that are the same as or better than the prices the Schedule contractors offer to their best commercial customers.

Savings: The MAS program provides ordering activities with competitively awarded contracts to increase the productivity and capacity of scarce acquisition resources.

Flexibility: Ordering activities have the flexibility to:

Conduct "best value" procurements.

Obtain a total solution to large or complex requirements using a Schedule Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA).

Establish a long-term relationship using a Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).

Use set aside orders and BPAs to engage small, quality businesses like Kaptivate.
