8(A) BENEFITS

SBA 8(a) Sole Source Benefits To Our Clients


The Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) Sole Source vehicle enables government agencies to engage in direct buy contracts with 8(a) certified contractors. On-Demand Services, LLC's 8(a) certification is active and valid through November 2028.


​Background

Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act as amended by Congress, created the 8(a) business development program. This program enables SBA to assist small disadvantaged firms to develop their businesses.  In applying to the program, a firm is rigorously evaluated on its ownership, operations, financial health, and past performance. Once accepted, the firm is required to provide SBA a detailed business plan and annually show continued success as a viable strong business entity. Firms that are approved are certified by the SBA for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal Agencies allowing them to contract directly with certified 8(a) firms. Participants can receive sole source contract, up to a ceiling of $4.0 million for goods and services, and $6.5 million for manufacturing.

Program Manager Benefits
