Contracting Advantages

Synteras maintains current contracts, contract vehicles, and government schedules as a prime contractor. We also are interested in subcontracting with partners, system integrators, and vendors.

We bring to clients our deep operational experience with DoD, DHS and civilian agencies. Our association with our $1 billion parent company, Qivliq, extends our resources and capabilities far beyond those of typical 8(a) companies. Because Synteras is an SBA-certified Alaska Native Corporation (ANC), our government clients and partners benefit from several unique contracting advantages.

Unique Contracting Advantages of an SBA-Certified 8(a) ANC
Advantage	Description	FAR Clause
Direct Negotiated Contract	ANC 8(a)s may receive direct negotiated contracts regardless of dollar amount.	13 CFR 124.506(b)
No Award Dollar Limit	ANC 8(a)s are not subject to the $3 million limitation on direct negotiated contracts applicable to other 8(a) firms.	13 CFR 124.506(b)
No Award Protest	The eligibility of a participant for a direct negotiated or competitive 8(a) requirement may not be challenged by another participant or any other party, either to SBA or any administrative forum as part of a bid or other contract protest.	3 CFR 124.517(a)
SDB & Native American Credits	Federal agencies contracting to an ANC are able to claim Small Disadvantaged Business and Native American credits.	13 CFR 124.109

Direct Negotiated Contract

Given Synteras’ SBA Certified 8(a) Disadvantaged Business status, government agencies may choose to contract directly with us. An agency completes the one-page — Proposed Project For 8(a) Program — form. (Reference FAR 19.802-2.)

Once completed, the agency can fax or email the document to the SBA in Alaska. Synteras’ SBA representative is Don Nagel.

After the offering information is received and processed by the SBA, a quote is requested from Synteras and, if agreeable to the agency, an award or purchase order is issued.
