Step 3: It usually takes a few days for the SBA to approve the request.

Step 4: The government agency and Makpar Corporation enter into contract negotiations.

• The government agency requests a quote from Makpar Corporation.

• If the quote is acceptable, the government agency submits a task order award to Makpar Corporation for the work to be performed.

Step 5: Once negotiations are complete and the contract is executed, a copy of the contract along with the SBA approval letter needs to be sent to the SBA representative. Send copy of award documents to S3@gsa.gov
