Contract Vehicles and GSA Schedules
NuvoLogic is an SBA 8(a) Certified Firm
We have undergone rigorous certification by the SBA as a minority, woman-owned, economically, disadvantaged, small business. These designations allow us to compete in the federal marketplace for set-aside contracts that help specifically promote business development and growth of small business within government agencies.
The SBA 8(a) program enables Federal Government agencies to contract directly with certified 8(a) contractors.
Under the program, 8(a) certified firms can receive sole source contracts, up to a ceiling of $4.5 million for services. Alternatively, 8(a) opportunities can be competed amongst other 8(a) firms where the contract dollar amount may exceed $4.5 million.

9 Simple Steps to Establish 8(a) Sole Source Contract with NuvoLogic Consulting
* The entire 8(a) sole source acquisition process is generally two weeks or less in duration.
The Government PM or interested party chooses NuvoLogic to perform the work, the PM submits a Procurement Request to his/her agency Contracting Officer (CO).
The CO sends an Offer Letter and a Statement of Work (SOW) via email to: [email protected] requesting permission to conduct sole source negotiations with NuvoLogic. INSERT link to PDF named 8a Offer Letter Procedures.pdf
Please send the offer letter to:

The SBA confirms eligibility of NuvoLogic and authorizes negotiations to commence – usually within 48 hours.
The CO sends NuvoLogic a Statement of Work and a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ).
The CO evaluates the submitted proposal and negotiates with NuvoLogic, if necessary.
* Simplified Acquisition efforts do not require a technical proposal; the CO sends RFP to NuvoLogic requesting a cost proposal; upon receipt, CO negotiates cost and terms with NuvoLogic. If the estimate exceeds the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the CO sends the RFP to NuvoLogic requesting technical and cost proposals; upon receipt, CO negotiates cost and terms with NuvoLogic.
Upon completion of negotiations, CO prepares a contract award document and sends to NuvoLogic for signature.
