8(A) Direct Award

The SBA can facilitate an agency direct award contract to iTech AG, up to a ceiling of $4 million. This can be achieved by following a three step process:

STEP 1

AGENCY DEFINES THE SCOPE OF THE REQUEST FOR ITECH AG

• The Government Point of Contact (POC) develops a Statement of Work (SOW).

• The POC prepares a cost estimate and obtains the necessary funding.

• The PM selects iTech AG, an 8(a) certified disadvantaged small business, to execute the work.

STEP 2

SBA FACILITATES THE OFFER

• The POC asks their Contracting Officer (CO) to prepare and submit an “Offer Letter” to iTech AG’s Business Opportunity Specialist, dcofferletters@sba.gov.

• SBA processes the “Offer Letter” and returns it to the agency within five business days.

• The CO submits the SOW to iTech AG for response.

STEP 3

AGENCY AWARDS THE CONTRACT TO ITECH AG

• iTech AG submits the proposal to be evaluated (and negotiated, if necessary) by the agency.

• The contract is awarded to iTech AG.
