About this file

This is a Small Business Procurement Initiative document from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Forestry, establishing guidelines for state and local contract opportunities. The document outlines the procurement framework for vendors seeking to furnish goods and services to state agencies, specifically addressing the Mira Lloyd Dock Resource Conservation Center (MLDRCC) located at 137 Penn Nursery Road, Spring Mills, PA 16875, in Potter Township, Centre County. The initiative applies to various procurement opportunities, including the current requirement for Kiosk Frames and Parts for the MLDRCC facility. The procurement process follows standard state bidding procedures with defined response timelines and submission requirements for interested vendors.

The Small Business Procurement Initiative prioritizes participation from small businesses and establishes set-asides to support disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) and minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs). The initiative details pricing structures, evaluation criteria, and contract award procedures while emphasizing compliance with state procurement regulations and fiscal accountability measures. Funding for procurement activities derives from the DCNR budget allocations, with specific project funding contingent upon departmental appropriations and resource availability. Vendors participating in this initiative must meet qualification requirements, insurance obligations, and performance standards established by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to ensure quality delivery of materials and services to state facilities.

BUREAU OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

Rachel Carson State Office Building | P.O. Box 8769 | Harrisburg, PA 17105-8769 | 717.783.3348 l www.dcnr.pa.gov

Dear Small Business Owner:

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is focused on proactively promoting the use of Small and/or Diverse Businesses on eligible solicitations with our agency.

The Department of General Services' Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion, and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO) has created a process with which eligible vendors can become selfcertified as a Small Business (SB) and verified as a Small Diverse Business (SOB). Once selfcertified, vendors can be considered for contract award opportunities with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that are specifically tailored for SBs and SDBs.

These programs allow SBs and SDBs to participate as prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and professional service providers on Commonwealth purchase orders. Opportunities are available with the Commonwealth for goods, services, IT, and construction.

In addition, eligible businesses may compete for contracts reserved solely for small businesses under the Commonwealth's Small Business Reserve program, a race and genderneutral program open to all businesses that are SBs or SDBs.

In order to qualify as a Small Business (SB), a vendor must selfcertify that they meet the following requirements:

• The business must be a forprofit, United States business.

• The business must be independently owned.

• The business may not be dominant in its field of operation.

• The business may not employ more than 100 fulltime equivalent employees.

• The business may not exceed threeyear average gross revenues of $47 million, regardless of business type.

In order to qualify as a Small Diverse Business (SDB), a business must first selfcertify as an SB, then submit current certification from a variety of approved third parties to BDISBO.

For an overview of the program, stepbystep guide on how to selfcertify as a Small Business, and pertinent resources, please visit:

Should your business fall under these requirements, we strongly encourage you to register.

If you have any questions about the program, do not hesitate to contact BDISBO; they are reachable by phone at: (717) 7833119 or by email at: gsbdisbo@pa.gov.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in Commonwealth business opportunities!

Sincerely, Xia Wang Director Bureau of Administrative Services
