(a) A contracting activity that is meeting goals under the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program must contract for construction, trash/garbage collection services, and landscaping and pest control services estimated to exceed $25,000, and architectural and engineering services estimated to exceed $50,000, using unrestricted procedures (see FAR 19.10 and 519.10.). If this circumstance applies, do not use the procedures in 519.502-70. You may make awards under the 8(a) program, or set aside for HUBZone small business or service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns.
(b) Once a contracting activity acquires a product or service successfully on the basis of a set-aside, the activity must acquire all future requirements for that product or service using set-aside procedures. If you determine that you no longer can reasonably expect to receive offers from at least two responsible small business concerns and make awards at fair market prices, use the procedures in FAR 19.506 to withdraw a repetitive set-aside. However, the availability of Federal Prison Industries, Inc. and Nonprofit Agencies Employing People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (JWOD) mandatory sources which may not have existed at the time of the original requirement are sufficient reason to discontinue setting aside a continuing requirement.
