Abstract
This proposed rule would apply the Rule of Two to multiple- award contract task and delivery orders, with some exceptions. Under the Rule of Two, unless an exception applies, an agency must set aside the award for small businesses where there is a reasonable expectation of receiving offers from two or more small-business contract holders under the multiple-award contract that are competitive in terms of price, quality, and delivery. Documentation requirements apply where the agency decides not to move forward with a set-aside order.
