How to Direct Awards to Malama Kai Technologies
The first step in the direct award process is to clearly define procurement needs by developing a statement of work, estimating costs and securing funding. Engaging key stakeholders early ensures alignment with project goals and budget constraints, leading to a more efficient procurement strategy.
Confirm Malama Kai Technologies status as an active SBA 8(a) participant through the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) or by contacting the SBA.
