 ### Smaller contracts
 
 An important difference between the Agile BPA and most other traditional IT services contract vehicles is that we make the procurements themselves reflect agile development. We plan to issue task orders — consistent with the [TechFAR](https://playbook.cio.gov/techfar/) — that feature shorter time-frames, smaller dollar amounts, and user-centered design principles. In other words, Agile BPA purchases will tend to be much smaller and more modular than most contracts.

-### Small business friendly
+## Small business friendly
 
 Small businesses are the drivers of economic growth in the U.S. Agile methodologies encourage work to be done in small, rapid, independent increments. When combined with modular approaches to contracting, this opens up a whole new world of contract opportunities for small businesses. For example, rather than compete work as one big, long contract (e.g., $50M over five years) that typically only large businesses can execute on, break it into multiple smaller, shorter-duration contracts. This has the effect of leveling the competitive playing field for not just small companies, but businesses of all sizes.
