NOTE on SMALL BUSINESSES SET-ASIDE FAR Part 19.000(b)(1)(ii) states “Contracting officers may apply this part outside the United States and its outlying areas.” The contracting officer has determined that it is not in the best interests of the Army to use FAR Part 19 small business programs for this acquisition. In coming to this determination, the contracting officer considered that the contactor must be knowledgeable of, and comply with, local labor and other laws when performing these services in Germany. In light of this requirement, and given the availability of local sources, the contracting officer intends to solicit local sources as well as post the solicitation to SAM.gov. As such, there is no reasonable expectation that offers will be obtained from at least two responsible small business concerns IAW F
