Common use of Restricted Competition Clause in Contracts

Restricted Competition. During the Fair Opportunity Process, the Government may elect to conduct a restricted or an unrestricted competition. The Government may elect to restrict competition for Orders, either totally or in part, to Small Businesses or other available Small Business Administration (SBA) small business designations (i.e., 8(a), HubZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women- Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). The DO/TO solicitation will notify Offerors if it will be solicited on a restricted or an unrestricted basis. If solicited on a restricted basis: i. For services, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the prime or other business with the same SBA small business designation. ii. For supplies (other than acquisition from a non-manufacturer of the supplies), the prime or other business with the same SBA small business designation shall perform work for at least 50 percent of the cost of manufacturing the supplies, not including the cost of materials.
