invites comments on the proposed small
business set-aside program for use with
small purchases awarded by the
Architect of the Capitol.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
The AOC
is interested in adopting a small
business set-aside program that includes
many of the procedural principles
contained inthe Small Business Act and
as implemented in 13 CFR Part 121, 13
CFR Part 124, 13 CFR Part 125, 13 CFR
Part 126, and 13 CFR Part 134. This
program is proposed for use in
conjunction with the AOC’s existing
procurement authority for small
purchases.
The AOC is not subject to the
Administrative Procedure Act, however,
the AOC Procurement Division seeks to
solicit public comment on the new
proposed program.
The AOC’s threshold for small
purchases is $100,000. The AOC is
considering whether to limit each
acquisition of supplies or services that
has an anticipated dollar value greater
than $5,000 but not exceeding $100,000
to small business concerns. Purchases
less than $100,000 is one of the
exceptions to the AOC’s full and open
competition requirement as noted under
its procurement statute 41 U.S.C. 5 and
as revised by 41 U.S.C. 6a–1 and 2
U.S.C. 1821. The AOC’s policy for
purchases of $5,000 and less is to treat
them in the same manner as micropurchases in accordance with FAR Part
13.2. We believe this contemplated
policy to limit each acquisition of
supplies or services that has an
anticipated dollar value greater than
$5,000 but not exceeding $100,000 to

small business concerns is also
consistent with the policies and
procedures of FAR Part 13, and this
policy may adopt or incorporate those
FAR Part 13 policies and procedures as
appropriate. We also will apply this
policy only when there is reasonable
expectation that offers will be received
from a least two responsible small
business concerns.
Adoption of any existing procedure
should not infer application of the
Small Business Act, Administrative
Procedure Act, nor any of its
implementing regulations upon the
