Notes on what this Example demonstrates:

• DoD-tilt visible throughout: Part 1 PSCs lean toward D-class (D316, D310, D307, D302, D314) and R-class (R425, R408); Part 2 names component sub-tiers explicitly (ACC-APG, NIWC Atlantic, AFLCMC Hanscom, ARCYBER, DISA, DHA J-6, DLA J6, NAVWAR, AFRL, USACE ERDC); CMMC L2-in-progress and FCL Secret cited where intake supports.
• Sub-tier specificity rule enforced: every Part 2 entry names a sub-tier AND a contracting office. None say "DoD" alone.
• Size-standard honesty: every NAICS in Part 1 carries the SBA revenue cap and the firm's Small status. The firm's $3.0M revenue is comfortably under all top-25 caps; no "Close" or "Not small" flags trigger.
• No fabricated dollar figures. Agency demand uses High / Medium / Low tier labels.
• No live opportunity citations. Past performance contract numbers come only from the firm's own intake (the three projects).
• Excluded NAICS honored: 236xxx construction codes and 561612 guard services are NOT in Part 1.
• PSC currency: D316 is the FY22-revision-added Cybersecurity PSC, preferred over generic D399 where capability supports.
• Saved-search mix: 10 broad-discovery (SS-1 through SS-10) + 10 agency-targeted (SS-11 through SS-20) + 5 set-aside-focused (SS-21 through SS-25). Distinct on (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, sub-tier).
• Each saved search in three forms (Plain English / SAM.gov URL / Copy-paste recipe). URLs use documented parameter names (naics, psc, set_aside, dept, subtier, office, notice_type, active).
• Zero banned words throughout. Direct verbs in every rationale.

   Agency demand tier: Medium
   Size standard: $24.5M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
   WOSB-eligible: Yes
   Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

9. NAICS 541720 — R&D in the Social Sciences and Humanities  |  PSC R499 — Other Professional Services

   Size standard: $30M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
   WOSB-eligible: Yes
   Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

10. NAICS 541611 — Administrative Management Consulting  |  PSC B505 — Special Studies/Analysis — Cost Benefit
    Why ranked: Cost-benefit analysis is increasingly bundled into civilian program evaluations under OMB Circular A-94 expectations; HRSA, OESE, ACF use 541611+B505 for program-economic studies.
    Agency demand tier: Medium
    Size standard: $24.5M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

11. NAICS 541611 — Administrative Management Consulting  |  PSC B510 — Special Studies/Analysis — Educational
    Why ranked: Educational program studies (OESE, OPE, OCTAE, OSERS) are sometimes procured under B510 instead of R408 — when the procurement office classifies the work as a "study" rather than ongoing program management support.
    Agency demand tier: Medium
    Size standard: $24.5M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

    Agency demand tier: Medium
    Size standard: $24.5M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

14. NAICS 541618 — Other Management Consulting Services  |  PSC R499 — Other Professional Services

    Size standard: $19M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

16. NAICS 541990 — All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services  |  PSC R408 — Program Management Support
    Why ranked: Catch-all NAICS paired with the canonical program-management PSC; useful when the procurement office classifies work outside 541611 / 541618 scope. SAMHSA, IHS use this combo.

    WOSB-eligible: Yes

    Agency demand tier: Medium
    Size standard: $19M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

18. NAICS 541720 — R&D in the Social Sciences and Humanities  |  PSC AR11 — R&D, Social Sciences — Basic Research
    Why ranked: Basic-research social-sciences PSC; less common procurement framing than AR12 but used by NIH, OESE, NIDILRR for formative research studies prior to applied-research task orders.
    Agency demand tier: Low (firm should prioritize AR12 first; AR11 is a stretch)
    Size standard: $30M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

19. NAICS 541611 — Administrative Management Consulting  |  PSC R604 — Information Retrieval

    Agency demand tier: Low
    Size standard: $24.5M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

20. NAICS 541990 — All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services  |  PSC R499 — Other Professional Services
    Why ranked: Catch-all NAICS with catch-all PSC — captures advisory work that resists more specific classification. Use when COs default to "Other Professional Services." VA OIG, SAMHSA OFR use this combo on smaller engagements.
    Agency demand tier: Low
    Size standard: $19M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes

--- Stretch (lower-fit) ---

21. NAICS 611430 — Professional and Management Development Training  |  PSC U009 — Education and Training — Education Training Services
    Why ranked: STRETCH — capability mentions change-management implementations which include training components, but the firm has no dedicated training-product offering and no past performance scoped as training delivery. Pursue only if a partner relationship covers the training-delivery gap. WOSB-eligible.
    Agency demand tier: Low (vendor-side; high agency demand for training but firm-fit is weak)
    Size standard: $13M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes

22. NAICS 541613 — Marketing Consulting Services  |  PSC R702 — Personnel Services — Other
    Why ranked: STRETCH — strategic-communications-adjacent work could fit 541613 but firm's capability is evaluation-centric, not marketing. Listed for completeness; do NOT register without committing to a marketing-consulting practice line.
    Agency demand tier: Low
    Size standard: $19M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

23. NAICS 541613 — Marketing Consulting Services  |  PSC R499 — Other Professional Services

24. NAICS 541614 — Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services  |  PSC R408 — Program Management Support
    Why ranked: STRETCH — operations / process-improvement consulting overlaps change-management framing; some HHS and VA logistics-process engagements use this combo. Firm has no logistics-consulting past performance — pursue only with partner.
    Agency demand tier: Low
    Size standard: $19M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

25. NAICS 541618 — Other Management Consulting Services  |  PSC B506 — Special Studies/Analysis — Data
    Why ranked: STRETCH — data-analysis-heavy advisory engagements can fit 541618+B506; firm's quasi-experimental evaluation work touches this combo. Pursue selectively where the procurement explicitly scopes data-analysis-as-deliverable.
    Agency demand tier: Low
    Size standard: $19M revenue cap — Vendor status: Small
    WOSB-eligible: Yes
    Substantially-underrepresented (EDWOSB sole-source eligible): Yes

Notes on what this Example demonstrates:

• Civilian-tilt visible throughout: Part 1 PSCs lean toward R-class (R408, R499, R701, R706) and B-class studies (B505, B510, B541, B549), and AR-class social-sciences R&D (AR11, AR12) — no D-class IT or A-class defense R&D. Part 2 names civilian sub-tiers (HRSA BHW, ACF Office of Head Start, VHA Office of Health Equity, OESE Program Evaluation Division, ACF OPRE, SAMHSA OFR, OFSA Research, NIH NIDA/NIMH, GSA OGP, CMS OSORA).
• EDWOSB eligibility focus enforced: every NAICS in Part 1 carries the WOSB-eligible: Yes flag, and substantially-underrepresented-EDWOSB-sole-source-eligible flag where applicable. Entries 7 and 16 lack the substantially-underrepresented flag (541990 and 541612-with-R701 are WOSB-eligible but not substantially-underrepresented in the current SBA WOSB table).
• Excluded agencies honored: {{excluded_agencies}} = DoD is enforced. Zero DoD components in Part 2 or Part 3.
• Sub-tier specificity: every Part 2 entry names a sub-tier + office (HRSA Bureau of Health Workforce, ACF Office of Head Start, VHA Office of Health Equity, OESE Program Evaluation Division, etc.). No "HHS" or "VA" alone.
• Civilian compliance framing: Section 508 conformance cited on VHA Office of Health Equity entry; OMB Circular A-94 cost-benefit cited on CMS OSORA entry; PRA-clearance expectations cited on OESE and OFSA entries; OMB Circular A-11 / GPRA Modernization Act cited on GSA OGP entry. Zero CMMC, FCL, DFARS, NIST SP 800-171, or clearance language anywhere — consistent with the blank {{cmmc_level}} and {{security_clearances}} intake.
• No-padding rule applied: 20 strong entries plus a clearly labeled "Stretch (lower-fit)" sub-section with 5 lower-fit entries (NAICS 611430, 541613, 541614, 541618+B506). The Stretch entries carry honest "capability does not directly support" language rather than being padded in silently.
• Size-standard honesty: every NAICS in Part 1 carries its SBA revenue cap. The firm's $1.2M revenue is comfortably under all caps; no "Close" or "Not small" flags trigger.
• No fabricated dollar figures. Agency demand uses High / Medium / Low tier labels.
• No live opportunity citations. Past performance contract references come only from the firm's own intake.
• Saved-search mix: 10 broad-discovery (SS-1 through SS-10) + 10 agency-targeted (SS-11 through SS-20) + 5 set-aside-focused (SS-21 through SS-25). Distinct on (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, sub-tier). At least 8 of the 25 searches include WOSB or EDWOSB set-aside filter, per the eligibility-focus rule in Variant B.
• Each saved search in three forms (Plain English / SAM.gov URL / Copy-paste recipe). URLs use documented parameter names.
• Zero banned words throughout. Direct verbs in every rationale.

What These Two Examples Demonstrate Together

• Agency-focus tilt working as intended. Example 1 surfaces DoD sub-tier names (ACC-APG, NIWC Atlantic, AFLCMC Hanscom, ARCYBER, DISA, DHA J-6, DLA J6, NAVWAR, AFRL, USACE ERDC) and DoD-specific compliance language (CMMC L2 in progress, FCL Secret, DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST SP 800-171). Example 2 surfaces civilian sub-tier names (HRSA BHW, ACF Head Start, VHA Office of Health Equity, OESE Program Evaluation Division, ACF OPRE, SAMHSA OFR, OFSA Research, NIH NIDA/NIMH, GSA OGP, CMS OSORA) and civilian-specific compliance language (Section 508, OMB Circular A-94, PRA clearance, GPRA Modernization Act). The DoD framing does NOT appear in Example 2, and the civilian framing does NOT cross-contaminate into Example 1.
• Domain rules enforced. Size-standard line on every Part 1 entry. WOSB-eligible flag in Example 2 per the EDWOSB eligibility focus. Sub-tier + office on every Part 2 entry. Saved searches distinct on (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, sub-tier). Tier labels for agency demand, never dollar figures. No live opportunity citations. Excluded agencies (DoD in Example 2) honored literally.
• No-padding rule honored. Example 1 produces a full 25-entry Part 1 because the capability genuinely supports that breadth. Example 2 produces 20 strong entries plus 5 clearly-labeled "Stretch" entries because the firm's capability is more concentrated.
• PSC currency. Example 1 prefers D316 (FY22-added Cybersecurity PSC) over generic D399 for cyber work. Example 2 prefers AR12 (Applied Social Sciences R&D) and B510 (Educational Studies) over generic R499 where the capability supports the specific framing.
• No fabrication. Past performance references inside Part 1 and Part 2 entries use only contracts the buyer's intake supplied. No invented Sol# values, no fabricated awardee names, no fabricated dollar figures, no live SAM.gov opportunity citations.
• Zero banned words. Search both examples for "leverage," "synergy," "cutting-edge," "innovative solutions," "best-in-class," "world-class," "robust solutions," "turnkey" — none appear.

If your generated hotlist deviates from these patterns — e.g., names a department alone in Part 2, fabricates a dollar figure, cites a live solicitation, uses banned words, or pads weak entries silently to reach 25 — regenerate with the prompt, do not edit manually around the model.
