"HUBZone Sole Source - How Buyers Can Use Acquisition Strategy to Access EvereTech for Solutions or Services"

Many federal buyers are not aware Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) organizations have the ability to receive a sole source contract. There are Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses that allow federal buyers to utilize the HUBZone program to issue a sole source acquisition vehicle in a similar capacity to the other sole source acquisition strategies throughout the federal market. There are criteria the Contracting Activities must accomplish prior to issuing a sole-source contract (listed below). However, it is the the vendors (HUBZone organizations) responsibility to ensure the customer (buyer) has all the necessary information about company capabilities to make an informed HUBZone sole source decision.  EvereTech is an active HUBZone certified organization from the Small Business Administration (SBA). If federal buyers want to access​, solutions, etc from EvereTech they can utilize the HUBZone sole source as a vehicle for acquisition. Our capabilities are listed on the About Us Page and What We Do Page.
