ANC 8(a)s may be sole-sourced on Federal contracts of any size. Unlike other 8(a)s, ANCs are not subject to the $3.5M cap on sole sources (Per 13 CFR 124.506(b)) and these awards cannot be protested (13 C.F.R. 124.517(a)). Additionally, DoD Contractors who offer subcontracts to ANC 8(a) firms receive 5% of the total value of the subcontract as an incentive per Section 504 of the Indian Financing Act of 1974 (25 U.S.C. § 1544).
Prolonged procurement cycles can be a headache for any contractor. Through the 8(a) program, contractors gain greater control over project scope and budget while experiencing a simplified and accelerated procurement process, reducing decision and award cycle times to months, not years. You can fast-track your projects and bids, saving time and resources every step of the way. Partnering with Yulista ensures you have a reliable ally committed to streamlining your journey and delivering unparalleled results.
Trust is built through experience. Yulista is a family of companies with over 18 wholly-owned subsidiaries, allowing us to draw from past experiences to support a wide range of government contracts. Under the 8(a) program, we can leverage past performance effectively. Benefit from our proven track record and success stories of our sister companies and key management personnel. This means enhanced evaluation periods for awards, giving you the confidence that comes with proven capability.
Yulista offers a world of benefits that can revolutionize your procurement strategy. One compelling incentive for Department of Defense (DoD) Contractors is the 5% incentive program. This means receiving a 5% incentive of the subcontract’s total value, fostering collaboration and mutual success. Through the 5% incentive program, federal agencies or prime contractors can achieve socioeconomic goals, access specialized services, support small business growth, and demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion. That’s a win for everyone.
Competitive thresholds are intended to promote fairness, transparency, and efficiency in federal contracting, however they can also present challenges that should be considered. When working with an 8(a) certified company, federal agencies can award sole-source contracts without the need for competitive bidding. By teaming up with Yulista, customers benefit from expedited procurement processes and greater flexibility.
Award protests can lead to delays in project execution disrupting timelines and potentially affect mission critical needs or operations. With the 8(a) program there is assurance that single sourced awards cannot be protested. Eliminate the uncertainty and delays that protests can bring. Trust in the process, trust in your partnership with Team Yulista.
