The U.S. SBA has introduced a proposed rule aimed at implementing a key provision from the landmark Tolliver decision, mandating the application of the “Rule of Two” for task and delivery orders under multiple-award contracts (MACs). The Rule of Two stipulates that if there are at least two qualified small businesses capable of performing a contract, the contract should be set aside for small businesses.
