The 8(a) program name is from Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act. The Act, as amended by Congress, created the 8(a) program so the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) could help small companies owned and operated by socially and economically disadvantaged persons develop their businesses.
One of the business development tools of the 8(a) program is the award of Federal contracts. Under the program, SBA acts as a prime contractor and enters into contracts with other Federal Government departments and agencies. In its role as a prime contractor, SBA awards subcontracts for their performance by certified companies.
As an 8(a) company, Skylla Engineering is eligible to receive direct, sole-source, non-competitive contract awards from our Government Customers for up to four million dollars making this avenue one of the most efficient and least time-consuming methods of contracting quality products and services from a small, disadvantaged business. |
