CRS-2 2 Another source of information about procurement terms is the Federal Acquisition Institute’s glossary, which is available at [http://www.fai.gov/pdfs/glossary.pdf]. 3 Although not a requirement, certification as, for example, a small disadvantaged business (SDB) may be advantageous and requires certificati on by the Small Business Administration (SBA). See the SBA’s website, available at [http://www.sba.gov/starting _business/special/ minorities.html], for information about SDB, HUBZone, and 8(a) programs, eligibility criteria, and certification. 4 Examples of procurement methods that do not involve establishing a new contract include using a government purchase card (that is, a credit card); placing a task order (or a delivery order) against an existing contract; or ordering from a GSA schedule (schedules are described in the next section of the report).
