The 8(a) FL Advantage- ParsCo Construction

SBA 8(a) Sole Source Benefits To Our Clients

The Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) Sole Source vehicle enables government agencies to engage in direct buy contracts with 8(a) certified contractors.

Parsco’s 8(a)  and SBA business development certification is active and valid through 2026.

Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act as amended by Congress, created the 8(a) business development program. This program enables SBA to assist small disadvantaged firms to develop their businesses. In applying to the program, a firm is rigorously evaluated on its ownership, operations, financial health, and past performance. Once accepted, the firm is required to provide SBA a detailed business plan and annually show continued success as a viable, strong business entity. Firms that are approved are certified by the SBA for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal Agencies allowing them to contract directly with certified 8(a) firms. Participants can receive sole source contracts, up to a ceiling of $4.0 million for goods and services, and $6.5M for manufacturing.

Simple Steps to Establish 8(a) Sole Source Construction Contracts with ParsCo

The Government program manager or interested party develops a statement of work, prepares a government estimate, and obtains the necessary funding.

The Government program manager or interested party chooses ParsCo to perform the work and submits a procurement request to your contracting officer.

The agency contracting officer prepares and submits an “Offer Letter” to ParsCo’s SBA Business Development Specialist, Jay Choi:

SBA processes the Offer Letter and returns it to the agency contracting officer who submits the Statement of Work and Request for Proposal or Quotation to ParsCo.

ParsCo submits the proposal which is evaluated and negotiated (if necessary) by the contracting agency.

The contract is awarded to ParsCo.
