Business Opportunities with the Army Corps of Engineers  
For contracts and procurements falling with the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) "$150,000", the Army Corps of Engineers will normally reserve for small business concerns.  These are called "small business set-aside contracts".  The Army Corps of Engineers offers two ways for small businesses to engage in contracting with the government. The first method is via small business set-aside contracts awarded directly to small business concerns.  The second is via subcontracting with prime government contractors. Note: DoD requires large businesses receiving contracts valued over $650,000 ($1.5M in construction) to subcontract with small, small disadvantaged, HUBzone, veteran-owned, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This DoD requirement yields significant subcontracting opportunities for small businesses.
