3. Transition Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) SINs
GSA has identified an opportunity to reduce administrative burden, enhance vendor capabilities, and minimize compliance risks by transitioning Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) SINs under the MAS Solicitation. Currently, the structure of SBSA SINs requires contractors to manage multiple MAS contracts, which increases administrative complexity, limits their ability to offer total solutions under a single contract, and introduces significant compliance risks, particularly concerning the Buy American Act (BAA). This approach disproportionately impacts small businesses, especially since the SBSA SINs are no longer essential for setting aside opportunities under the MAS program.
To streamline processes, GSA plans to:
- Transition SBSA SINs to a non-SBSA equivalent SIN
- Encourage the use of order-level set asides
4. Incorporate clause and provision updates, as necessary, through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2025-02 and GSAR Change 194 (except Change 187)
