CIO-SP3 Small Business features a wide variety of leading small business innovators and can be used by any federal, civilian or DoD agency to fulfill IT requirements and socioeconomic goals.

• Scoring/ranking proposals, and formal evaluation plans are not required (FAR 16.505[b][v][B])
• No protest on orders under $10 million except on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period or maximum value of the contract (FAR Subpart 16.505 [a][10][i])
