13 C.F.R. § 126.609 What must the contracting officer do if a contracting opportunity does not exist for competition among qualified HUBZone SBCs?
Title 13 - Business Credit and Assistance
If a contract opportunity for competition among qualified SBCs does not exist under the provisions of §126.607, the contracting officer must first consider the possibility of making an award to a qualified HUBZone SBC on a sole source basis, and then to a small business under small business set-aside procedures, in that order of precedence. If the criteria are not met for any of these special contracting authorities, then the contracting officer may solicit the procurement through another appropriate contracting method.
