	Description:		In this episode, we talk about the difference between pre-solicitation and source sought. Source sought is the government's market research phase to determine if they should make the requirement a small business or one of the socioeconomic categories. At this stage, the government can determine if they should negotiate directly with small businesses or make it a veteran-owned set-aside program. Pre-solicitation, on the other hand, is a notice given about a month before the solicitation is released, giving contractors time to prepare for the opportunity. The majority of set-asides are now going into IDIQ contracts and are not seen on the open market as much. If you also want to know how to search for set-asides for SDVOSB, tune in now.
