About this file

This document is a Small Business Procurement Initiative guideline issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). The initiative outlines requirements for the FD13 DSA Bell Draft Road project in Elk State Forest, which involves the delivery, paver-placement, and compaction of approximately 3,588 tons of limestone Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) to Bell Draft Road. The document establishes procurement procedures and eligibility criteria designed to encourage participation from small business enterprises in state forest improvement projects. Specific details regarding response dates, site visits, bidder meetings, contract term, and renewal options are to be found within the procurement guidelines framework established by DCNR.

The initiative implements set-asides and preferences intended to support small business participation in DCNR contracting opportunities. The procurement framework addresses funding sources through DCNR's capital budget allocation for state forest maintenance and improvement projects. Bidders are evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications for DSA material handling and road surface installation, along with compliance with the small business procurement requirements. The document establishes the operational parameters through which qualified small business contractors may compete for DCNR projects while ensuring quality standards are maintained for forest road infrastructure improvements.

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
