HUBZone Set-Aside has Preference Over SDVOB and 8(a) Programs

Analysis of Court of Claims Decision Coming

On March 2, 2010 the Court of Federal Claims released a public copy of a decision it reached on February 26, 2010.  The decision ruled that the HUBZone set-aside in the Small Business Act is mandatory and takes precedence over both the 8(a) and SDVOB permissive set-asides included in the Act.  In so ruling, the court rejected the positions taken by OMB, SBA, and the Department of Justice that there was parity among these three set-asides.  The decision has wider implications than just giving the HUBZone program an advantage.  How does it affect the new VA SDVOB set-aside program?  In rejecting some of SBA's regulations does this decision have a potential impact on other agency regulation, specifically the SBA and VA regulations.  I will be issuing an article on my view of these issues soon and sending it to you.  If you have questions on the decision you can send them to me at info@powerlawoffice.com and I will try to include answers to these questions.  Forward this message to anyone you think will be interested in this issue.

I'd welcome your opinion on the ramifications of this decision. If you'd like I can publish your post on my site as well (GovCon). Thanks - David

David -- I will send you a copy of an article I am writing for my newsletter. I am looking at how this decision affects the Veterans Administration Veterans First program which mandates SDVOSB set-asides for VA acquisitions. I think there are some VA and SBA 8(a) regulations that are also affected. I should have the article done by the end of this week.

I broke the article down into three parts and just published the first part as it relates to VA set-asides on my power for veterans blog.
