Sole-Source Opportunities
As a tribally-owned 8(a) small business, Tuyan, LLC is exempt from the competitive $4 million sole-source contracting limit placed on other 8(a) certified small businesses. The exemption opens up opportunities to negotiate sole-source contracts that maximize our client’s organizational benefits, meet their financial expectations, accomplish their missions and establish invaluable partnerships.
Sole-source contracting expedites delivery of the required services and eliminates the need for government contracting officers to execute a costly and time-consuming full acquisition process. Because a sole-source contract cannot be protested, Tuyan’s experienced technical and management staff can begin performing the contracted services immediately.
