Agreements
(3) Agreements. With respect to agreements established under FAR part 13, size is determined as of the date the business concern submits its initial offer, which includes price, for the agreement. Because an agreement is not a contract, the concern must also qualify as small as of the date the concern submits its initial offer, which includes price, for each order issued pursuant to the agreement to be considered small for the order. (4) Exceptions. (i) For orders or BPAs to be placed against the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, size is determined as of the date the business concern submits its initial offer, which includes price, for the GSA FSS MAS contract. (ii) For 8(a) sole source orders issued under a multiple award contract, size is determined in accordance with 124.503(i)(1)(iv) of this chapter, as of the date the order is offered to the 8(a) BD program, regardless of whether the multiple award contract is unrestricted, set-aside, or the GSA FSS MAS contract. (iii) Size is determined on the date of recertification when a recertification is required pursuant to 125.12(a) and (b) of this chapter, or on the date of initial offer which includes price if requested by a contracting officer pursuant to 125.12(c). This exception applies to all provisions of 121.404(a), (b), (c), and (d).
