Veteran Set Aside Web Services
ThatDeveloperGuy accepts contracts under FAR Subpart 19.14 (Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program) for web development scopes. This page covers the set aside mechanics rather than repeating the SDVOSB certification facts.
What FAR 19.14 actually says
FAR Subpart 19.14 authorizes contracting officers to restrict competition to SDVOSB concerns when the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible SDVOSBs will submit offers and that award will be made at fair market price. The set aside is mandatory above the simplified acquisition threshold when the rule of two is met.
For web development scopes (NAICS 541511, 541512), set aside opportunities arise in three forms: full set aside, partial set aside, and sole source up to the simplified acquisition threshold. We respond to all three.
How we evaluate set aside opportunities
- Sole source up to $250K (simplified acquisition threshold): we respond within two business days with a fixed price proposal
- Full set aside, fixed price scope: we respond by the proposal deadline with a complete technical and price volume
- Full set aside, T&M or labor hour: we respond with a rate card mapped to the agency's labor categories
- Partial set aside as a subcontractor: we coordinate with the prime to confirm scope, period of performance, and small business participation plan implications
Common scopes we deliver under set aside
Federal web development scopes vary widely. What we have actually delivered or quoted on set aside opportunities:
- Agency public information sites with content management and Section 508 compliance
- Public records dashboards displaying contract awards, FOIA logs, or compliance data
- Internal portals for program offices with role-based access control
- Migration of legacy federal sites off retired CMS platforms onto modern static or hybrid stacks
- Accessibility remediation under standalone task orders against existing federal sites
Past performance for set aside reference
We maintain a redacted past performance summary suitable for inclusion in a set aside proposal. The summary covers prior commercial and federal subcontract work, with point of contact references available on request to verified federal acquisition staff.
How to invite us to a set aside opportunity
Federal contracting officers can reach us directly through the contact page or by email. Prime contractors building an SDVOSB subcontractor list for an upcoming opportunity can do the same.
Set aside FAQ
- Do you bid as prime or sub?
- Both, depending on opportunity. We prime smaller fixed-price web development scopes directly. For larger scopes or programs that require facility security clearance, we work as a subcontractor under a cleared prime.
- What is your geographic restriction?
- None for remote work. We have delivered remotely to agencies across the contiguous United States. For on-site presence beyond our Cassville, MO base, we travel; sustained on-site presence is negotiated case by case.
- Do you respond to RFIs?
- Yes. RFI responses are typically faster to produce than RFP responses since they are bounded by the request. We aim for two business day turnaround on RFI responses.
