About this file
This is Amendment A00003 to the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) solicitation 797-FSS-03-0001-R1 for 66III Cost-Per-Test Clinical Laboratory Analyzers, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs on November 18, 2011. The amendment incorporates small business set-aside clauses resulting from Section 1331 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which grants ordering level Contracting Officers discretion to set aside individual orders for specific small business programs. The amendment establishes that depending on the type of set-aside identified at the ordering level, one or more applicable FAR clauses will apply, including limitations on subcontracting, HUBZone set-asides, total small business set-asides, service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, economically disadvantaged women-owned small business set-asides, and women-owned small business set-asides.
The clauses detail specific performance requirements for contractors across contract types (services, supplies, general construction, and special trade construction), requiring contractors to perform minimum percentages of work with their own employees or qualifying small business subcontractors—typically 50 percent for services and supplies, 15 percent for general construction, and 25 percent for special trade construction. Joint venture arrangements are permitted under defined conditions, and nonmanufacturer rules apply for supply contracts. The amendment applies to the underlying indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple-award contract with fixed pricing and Economic Price Adjustment provisions for clinical laboratory analyzers in chemistry, hematology, coagulation, urinalysis, microbiology, and immunochemistry disciplines, with five-year performance periods commencing from the award effective date.
