Small Business Procurement – GSA Can Help! All small businesses should have the maximum practicable opportunity to

participate in providing goods and services to U.S. Government (Small Business Act)

The Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) statutory government-wide procurement goals*:

• 23% of an agency’s prime contracts for small businesses• 5% for small disadvantage businesses (prime & subcontracts)• 5% for women-owned small businesses (prime & subcontracts)• 3% for HUBZone businesses (prime and subcontracts)• 3% for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs)• (prime & subcontracts)

• GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program can help you identify and include these companies in the competition for your agency’s business!

• *SBA negotiates annual procurement preference goals with each federal agency and review’s each agency’s results. SBA ensures that the mutually established cumulative goals for all agencies meet or exceed the government-wide 23% small business goal.

Dear TOR BURLINGTON,

Subject RFQ for: "AV Conferece Room Equipment and Furniture Installation" will soon close. There are 0 quotes received at the time of this e-mail. We would like to make the following suggestions that may help generate more quotes for this RFQ or any future RFQs:

* Consider giving sellers more time to quote. Go to www.ebuy.gsa.gov if you wish to extend.

* Consider selecting more sellers if appropriate. * Try to avoid closing an RFQ a weekend or holiday. * Consider doing market research prior to RFQ to find vendors who can meet your

requirements. * Consider doing a "sources sought" RFQ to test the market for interested sources. * Review your requirement or SOW to make sure they are clear and complete. Click

below for more information on creating a Statement of Work. http://www.gsa.gov/Portal/gsa/ep/contentView.do?

contentId=8131&contentType=GSA_BASIC

We hope some of these suggestions will help generate more quality quotes and enhance your e-Buy experience. You may contact GSA at [email protected] or call 1-877-472-3777 (select option 2) if there are questions concerning e-Buy operation.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL.
