A large share of federal laundry equipment work is set aside for small business, and the size standard tied to the laundry NAICS code decides who qualifies. Knowing your status against the standard is the first step in any federal pursuit.
What the set aside means
A small business set aside restricts the competition to firms that qualify as small under the size standard for the assigned NAICS code. The federal small business programs also include socioeconomic set asides such as HUBZone and women owned small business that a solicitation may use.
Why it decides whether you compete
If a buy is set aside for small business and a dealer does not qualify, it cannot bid, and if it qualifies, the field is far smaller. The agent reads the set aside type, the assigned code, and the size standard so a dealer knows whether the work is open and how to team if it is not.
How the agent handles it
Our agent reads the set aside and the assigned code on each federal laundry solicitation, flags the small business and socioeconomic set asides, and scores eligibility against your status so you pursue what is open to you.
The agent reads the set aside type that decides whether you can bid the federal work. See the federal and military laundry bid agent in the interactive demo.
