Why are some large businesses still on the 8(a) STARS GWAC?
Prior to the May 2009 contract option, contractors were required to re-represent their size status in each of the 8(a) STARS functional areas. Some industry partners have re-represented their size as no longer small. Those companies that re-represented as “other than small” as a result of organic growth (as opposed to being acquired) remain on the STARS contract. Pursuant to FAR 19.804, the terms and conditions of this contract remain intact.
