Question for any experts out there in the SEWP Contract arena. If a small business acquires a company that IS a Prime Contractor on the SEWP Contract Full and Open category can the small business be grandfathered into the appropriate SEWP Small Business Category?
In this example the company acquiring the SEWP Full and Open Prime company is a SDVO/Hubzone certified company. Can they be added to the Hubzone Group? Or do they remain Full and Open category regardless of surviving Business socioeconomic status?

No, the Small Business class contracts were separate solicitations than those of the full and open competition class. You would need to acquire a Contractor that held a set-aside class contract in order to remain within the set-aside class. In addition, the small business redetermination clause may apply if your new business entity is not small.
