FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 19: Small Business Programs › Subpart 19.13

FAR 19.1304 Exclusions.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section lists the situations where the small business set-aside rules in this subpart do not apply. It matters because it tells contractors when a requirement will not be set aside for small business, such as orders under indefinite-delivery contracts or Federal Supply Schedules, or work already being performed under the 8(a) program.

Applies to: Acquisitions covered by this subpart, except the listed exclusions

Key terms: Federal Prison Industries, Inc. · AbilityOne participating non-profit agencies · indefinite-delivery contracts · Federal Supply Schedules · 8(a) program
