Certifications
MHA Systems Inc., is a SBA Small Disadvantage Business, SBA 8(a) and HUBZone certified company that provides Information Technology services in both the Federal and Private sectors. MHA Systems offers many unique features within the Minority Tribal SBA 8(A) contracting scope:
-
Under the SBA 8(a) contracting program, tribal 8(a) firms may receive sole source contracts regardless of dollar amount. All other non-tribal 8(a) firms may not receive contracts in the excess of $3 million. This opportunity was justified by Congress reflecting the overall responsiblilty of Tribal Nations to recover from poverty, and the larger contracts would be able to accomplish this.
Once the sole-source contract is awarded, it cannot be protested. The applicable regulation is 13 C.F.R. 124.517(a). “The eligibility of a Participant for a sole source or competitive 8(a) contract may not be challenged by another Participant or any other party, either before SBA or any administrative forum as part of a bid or other contract protest.”
The size of an Indian-owned enterprise, for small business eligibility purposes, is determined without consideration of the economic size of its parent (13 CFR 124.109).
- A 5% bonus (based on the subcontract value) can be awarded to prime contractors for using Tribal firms (DFARs 226.1 or FAR 26.102).
