Grounds contracts — common questions
- What does the 8(a) Grounds lane cover?
- NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) notices set aside for the 8(a) program, including notices SAM.gov codes as 8(a) sole source. Grounds work bundled into an integrated facilities award usually posts under NAICS 561210 and appears in the 8(a) Facilities lane instead.
- How do 8(a) sole-source grounds awards work?
- An agency identifies a need and asks the SBA to place it with an 8(a) firm. The agency and the firm negotiate price and terms without a public competition. For services, contracts above $4.5M must be competed among 8(a) firms; below that the agency can choose sole-source or competition.
- Does the Service Contract Act apply to 8(a) grounds contracts?
- Yes, for most grounds contracts. The SCA sets minimum wage and fringe rates for service workers. fedlane.us summarizes SCA wage determination references in each opportunity where they appear.
- Can a firm hold both 8(a) and SDVOSB certification for grounds work?
- Yes, if the owner qualifies for both programs. Pair this lane with the SDVOSB Grounds lane to see both pools of NAICS 561730 set-aside work.
