Did you know an eligible 8(a) follow-on requirement may have a streamlined path to WOSB competition? Under the applicable Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 19 deviation, contracting officers may transition an 8(a) follow-on directly to a competitive WOSB/EDWOSB set-aside without a separate SBA release when RFO 19.108-11(a)(2) applies.
