Federal IT Contracts With No Set-Aside

Not every federal IT buy is reserved for a small-business program. The notices below are marked as having no set-aside on SAM.gov, meaning they are not restricted to 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB or total small business competition. You do not need a socioeconomic certification to compete, though larger firms can compete too, and these notices can also be useful leads for subcontracting or teaming. Notices that state no set-aside information at all are not included, because we cannot tell what they are.

The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information submitted or received from potential sources as a result of this notice. All information submitted in response to this announcement is strictly voluntary and no funds are available to compensate respondents for any costs incurred in developing or submitting response. 1.3. Failure to submit a response to this notice will not prevent an interested source from participating in any future formal ordering action related to this requirement. 1.4. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Capability statements received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement under DoD ESI or execute an order under limited-source procedures. 1.5. Proprietary Information: All information received marked "Proprietary" will be handled in accordance with applicable federal regulations.
