The Agency will continue to compete contract actions to the maximum extent practicable. Historically and to date, SBA has competed approximately 63% of the dollars available for competition. Remaining in concert with the statistical trend, SBA will most likely compete 60% of the ARRA dollars available for competition. The rationale for intended dollars competed is based on the data available in FPDS-NG and planned contract activities focused on Recovery Act procurement actions.
Contract Type
Consistent with the Agency's prior years' statistical data, SBA will continue to use Fixed Price contracts as the preferred type of contract for procuring goods and services.
