# Question
Can a flooring-focused contractor qualify as a prime?

Are teaming or subcontracting appropriate routes to qualify as a prime?
What are the general-contractor, licensing, bonding, insurance, past performance, and small business requirements?

Yes, but the prime contractor remains responsible for meeting all solicitation and contract requirements.
As this is a 100% small business set aside under NAICS 236220, the offeror must qualify as a small business under that classification ($45.0M annual receipts). The SOW requires contractor and subcontractor personnel to maintain licenses and certifications necessary for their assigned work classification.

Contract ceiling is $27.5M. Task orders are anticipated to range from $2K to $500K,Median task order value for current contract is $180K. Projected workload breakdown is included as Attachment A in the Statement of Work.
