Abstract: This proposed rule amends the regulations governing the 8(a) Business Development (8(a) BD) program to: (1) Revise the requirements for certain sole source contracts to joint ventures between 8(a) concerns owned and controlled by Indian tribes or Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) and other concerns; (2) implement statutory changes permitting Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs) to enter into sole source contracts with the Department of Defense (DOD) where such contract are in excess of the competitive threshold amounts; (3) provide more flexibility to the Agency in determining whether to admit a company for program participation where a family member of an individual claiming disadvantaged status for an applicant to the 8(a) program owns a concern already participating in the 8(a) program of a former participant; (4) clarify how agencies can receive credit towards their 8(a) prime contracting goals when placing orders under multiple award contracts; and (5) add certain words that were inadvertently omitted from section 124.105(h)(2).
