MEMORANDUM FOR RFP 12970224R0018
FROM USFS PPS SPOC SW
SUBJECT: RFP 12970224R0018 Questions & Answers
1. Question: “I run a fencing business in [location omitted for anonymity] and was curious if this was a job I could bid on?”
Answer: “Local Area Set-aside eligibility is verified based on the vendor’s physical (headquartered) location associated with the vendor’s UEI, as represented in their SAM.gov registration. If that physical address, associated with the vendor’s UEI in SAM.gov, is outside of the Set-aside area, the CO may determine it is ineligible for award consideration. A CO may determine a firm eligible for award consideration under a major disaster or emergency if that firm can demonstrate that it does business primarily in the Local Set-aside area.”
2. Question: “Why are some counties included in the Local Area Set-aside and others are not?”
Answer: “Presidential Declaration of a Major Disaster for the State of New Mexico FEMA-4652-DR is the authority under which competition for related projects may be limited to a Local Area Set-aside, in accordance with FAR 26.202-1 and FAR 6.208. FEMA-4652-DR defines the geographic area (counties) affected by the Major Disaster and eligible for inclusion in any related Local Area Set-asides. All eligible counties under FEMA-4652-DR have been included in the Local Area Set-aside to maximize opportunities for local small businesses to the greatest practicable extent.”
