The FAR rewrite is the most sweeping change in federal procurement in decades, and for small business contractors, Part 19 is where the stakes are highest. This section of the FAR governs how and when contracts must be set aside for small firms, how socio-economic certifications like 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, and SDVOSB are applied, and how prime contractors must engage with small business subcontractors.

In this episode of FedBiz'5, we break down the new Part 19 overhaul in plain language, explaining what has changed and why it matters. You’ll learn how the Rule of Two has been preserved and clarified to protect small business access, how tighter certification requirements make your status more meaningful, how sole-source authority has been centralized for easier use, and how subcontracting rules have been strengthened to expand opportunities for teaming and partnerships.

We’ll also cover why this rewrite is more than just regulatory—it’s strategic. With record levels of federal awards already flowing to small businesses, these changes help ensure the momentum continues. And more importantly, we’ll share the steps you should take now to be ready: updating certifications, strengthening your capability statement, engaging in market research, and building prime and subcontractor relationships that will position you for success.

If you want to understand how the new FAR Part 19 tilts the playing field in your favor—and how to turn the regulatory change into opportunity—this episode is for you.
