8(a) Contracting

The 8(a) contracting method is an effective contracting tool available to federal organizations. The 8(a) program is the only standard procurement technique that allows a procurement program manager to make a sole source purchase up to $3.5M. This procurement method saves substantial time, work, and cost for the organization making the procurement and is only available with federally certified 8(a) contractors. This option represents a flexible procurement method. By adding this contracting method to your other available means of procurement and using it appropriately, you can better achieve the goals and objectives of your program.

We encourage you to take a moment and find out your procurement options. Contracting via 8(a) contracting is a win/win situation. To learn more about the 8(a) program and how the 8(a) contracting process works, please click on the following link:
