Regulations such as, but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act of 1974 have been enacted to protect sensitive information from being improperly disclosed.

ADDITIONAL VETBIZ INFORMATION:

(a) Eligibility of SDVOSBs continues to be governed by the Small Business Administration regulations, 13 CFR subparts 125.8 through 125.13, as well as the FAR, except where expressly directed otherwise by the VAAR, and 38 CFR verification regulations for SDVOSBs.

(b) At the time of submission of offer, the offeror must represent to the contracting officer that it is a—

(1) SDVOSB concern

(2) Small business concern under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to the acquisition; and

(3) Verified for eligibility in the VIP database.

(c) A joint venture may be considered an SDVOSB or VOSB concern if

(1) At least one member of the joint venture is an SDVOSB or VOSB concern, and makes the representations in paragraph (b) of this section;

(2) Each other concern is small under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the procurement;

(3) The joint venture meets the requirements of paragraph 7 of the size standard explanation of affiliates in FAR 19.101; and

(4) The joint venture meets the requirements of 13 CFR 125.15(b), modified to include Veteran-owned small businesses where this CFR section refers to SDVOSB concerns.

(d) Any SDVOSB or VOSB concern (nonmanufacturer) must meet the requirements in FAR 19.102(f) to receive a benefit under this program.

JOINT VENTURES: See 13 C.F.R. § 121.103

(e) Affiliation based on joint ventures: A joint venture is an association of individuals and/or concerns with interests in any degree or proportion consorting to engage in and carry out no more than three specific or limited-purpose business ventures for joint profit over a two year period, for which purpose they combine their efforts, property, money, skill, or knowledge, but not on a continuing or permanent basis for conducting business generally.

This means that a specific joint venture entity generally may not be awarded more than three contracts over a two year period, starting from the date of the award of the first contract, without the partners to the joint venture being deemed affiliated for all purposes. Once a joint venture receives one contract, SBA will determine compliance with the three awards in two years rule for future awards as of the date of initial offer including price.

As such, an individual joint venture may be awarded more than three contracts without SBA finding general affiliation between the joint venture partners where the joint venture had received two or fewer contracts as of the date it submitted one or more additional offers which thereafter result in one or more additional contract awards. The same two (or more) entities may create additional joint ventures, and each new joint venture entity may be awarded up to three contracts in accordance with this section. At some point, however, such a longstanding inter-relationship or contractual dependence between the same joint venture partners will lead to a finding of general affiliation between and among them.

For purposes of this provision and in order to facilitate tracking of the number of contract awards made to a joint venture, a joint venture must be in writing and must do business under its own name, and it may (but need not) be in the form of a separate legal entity, and if it is a separate legal entity it may (but need not) be populated (i.e., have its own separate employees). SBA may also determine that the relationship between a prime contractor and its subcontractor is a joint venture, and that affiliation between the two exists, pursuant to paragraph (e)(4) of this section.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): A notice to proceed shall be issued after award at the beginning of each phase and represent a fully executed contract. The NTP date and time “to be determined” after award to a successful bidder. Each subsequent phase NTP shall not be issued until the preceding Phase has been issued a beneficial occupancy. Primary factor in determination to issue Phase I NTP shall be the Prime Contractor’s submission of, and the Government’s review and approval of both Payment and Performance Bonds, both of which are enforceable legal documents.

SOLICITATION AUTHORITY: This Invitation For Bid (IFB) is conducted under FAR Part 14 - Sealed Bidding, where firms are bidders and shall submit bids. References to RFP and Bidder’s, in technical specification sections and technical drawings are strictly coincidental and strictly for purposes of administrative convenience and efficiency. The Contracting Officer exercises final authority over all aspects of this IFB and any resultant contract.

SOLICITATION CLAUSES AND PROVISIONS : Please note that this IFB, and any resultant contract, and all clauses and provisions located there, supersede and contain final authority. Those clauses and provisions that may be referenced in IFB technical specification sections and technical drawings are strictly coincidental and for purposes of administrative convenience and efficiency.

SOLICITATION DEFINITIONS: Throughout this IFB, and any resultant contract, the terms Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), Project Engineer (PE), Resident Engineer (RE), and Project Manager (PM), all denote the same engineering official and may be used equally and interchangeably as described by the Contracting Officer (CO).

BRAND NAME OR EQUAL: The IFB may include the salient characteristics of the “or equal” aspect for determination of what is equal to any cited brand name. See FAR 52.211-6 for “brand name or equal” information. This is an extremely long, detailed, and comprehensive IFB, including all specifications and drawings. Please note that, wherever a brand name is cited, contractor shall ensure, in any resultant contract, that any equal has the salient characteristics of the brand name. Lack of confirmation shall be grounds for Government inspection at any time and Government direction for replacement of materials or equipment by the Contractor at no increase in contract price or time.

WORK DAYS AND HOURS

Normal work days and hours for this project range from 06:00 AM – 6:30 PM Monday - Friday. Access to the work site may be restricted to these hours and days.
