Contracts

Two statutory sole source pathways, one certified SDVOSB prime — unlocking direct awards up to $8.5M when the acquisition carries a manufacturing NAICS code and $5M for all other requirements, and shortening the path to award for requirements within those ceilings.

Sole Source Pathways

Two separate statutory authorities allow contracting officers to award directly to Corelon without full and open competition.

VAAR 819.7008

38 U.S.C. § 8127

Department of Veterans Affairs

Award Threshold

$5M (flat)

Under 38 U.S.C. § 8127 and VAAR subpart 819.70, VA contracting officers give veteran-owned small businesses first priority, SDVOSBs ahead of VOSBs: a set-aside where two or more are expected to offer at a fair and reasonable price, and sole source within the statutory ceiling. As an SBA-Certified SDVOSB, Corelon qualifies for VA sole source awards up to $5 million — a single ceiling that applies to supplies and services alike, with no separate manufacturing tier and no CPI indexing.

Award Process

  1. CO confirms the anticipated award price, including options, is within the $5M ceiling
  2. CO verifies Corelon's SBA SDVOSB certification at certify.sba.gov
  3. CO determines Corelon is a responsible source and the price is fair and reasonable and offers best value
  4. CO prepares the justification and approval and posts it with the synopsis (VAAR 819.7008; FAR 6.302-5)
  5. Award issued directly to Corelon

FAR 19.1406

15 U.S.C. § 657f · 13 C.F.R. § 128.405

All agencies except the VA

Award Threshold

$8.5M (manufacturing NAICS) · $5M (all other)

Under the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 657f) and FAR subpart 19.14, contracting officers at every agency outside the VA may award sole source contracts to SBA-certified SDVOSBs without full and open competition when the anticipated award price, including options, is within the FAR 19.1406 ceiling and the contracting officer does not have a reasonable expectation of offers from two or more SDVOSBs.

Award Process

  1. CO determines the requirement is within the applicable threshold
  2. CO verifies Corelon's SBA SDVOSB certification at certify.sba.gov
  3. CO finds no reasonable expectation of offers from two or more SDVOSBs, determines Corelon responsible and finds the price fair and reasonable (FAR 19.1406(a))
  4. CO prepares the J&A (Justification & Approval) required by FAR 6.302-5(c)(2), approved at the FAR 6.304 level for its value
  5. Award issued directly to Corelon
