All Offerors (both other than small businesses and small businesses) shall submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) as outlined in Attachment 10 – SBPCD and provide substantiating documentation to demonstrate how the Offeror will meet these objectives. This required information will be used to evaluate your proposed participation/commitment to use U.S. small businesses in the performance of this acquisition (as small business prime offerors or small business subcontractors) relative to Section M, Factor 4, Small Business Participation. The SBPCD requirements will be incorporated into the base contract vehicle as binding commitments and are considered enforceable contractual requirements.

1. Prime Offeror’s Size: Identify the applicable size and applicable socioeconomic categories for the PRIME offeror only when submitting your proposed SBPCD.

Include this information within the initial section of the proposed SBPCD and check all applicable boxes:

2. Pursuant to FAR Part 19, the Government’s objective is that Small Business Concerns (SBC) are used to the maximum extent practicable in your proposed approach to satisfy the requirements of this solicitation for the entire performance period. The Offeror shall identify SBCs that are to be used in their proposed approach to satisfy the requirements.

a) Identify in the below chart the SBCs by company name, business category(ies), description of products or services, specific SOW reference number, NAICS code to be provided by each SBC and the nature of the commitment with the SBC (i.e., letter of commitment, joint ventures, mentor protégé agreements, others).

Nature of Commitment

Note: Pursuant to Sections 8(d) of the Small Business Act, a business is considered small for Government procurements if it does not exceed the size standard for the NAICS code that the prime contractor believes best describes the product or services being acquired. In other words, the size of the prime’s suppliers is determined by the applicable NAICS code of their joint venture, teaming partner, or subcontract, which may or may not be the same NAICS code as the one for your prime contract with the Government.

b) Describe and explain the substantive commitment to small businesses firms.

Offerors that have enforceable agreements between the prime and small businesses must provide fully executed copies of the agreements (i.e. the entire agreement and not just first and last pages). An enforceable (binding) commitment is defined as a written and signed agreement (by both parties) that details that all parties have agreed to a business relationship for this procurement. This document must be clear that both parties have defined and agreed to the extent of the relationship to include the type or types of work the subcontractors/partners shall perform. The agreement shall be specific in nature.

Binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements.

3. Offerors’ proposed participation percentage of small businesses:

a) Using the Small Business Participation table/format below, fill in the Offeror’s proposed participation percentage of small businesses in terms of the Offeror’s value of the total acquisition (total contract value). Note: The Offeror’s proposed Total Contract Value for this requirement is the total proposed cost/price for the base and all option years. The Offeror shall provide explanation and documentation to support small business participation. Binding commitments shall become enforceable, contractual requirements.

b) The percentage of work performed by small businesses that qualify in multiple small business categories may be counted in each category.

c) If the Offeror planned utilization of small business concerns under this requirement is 0%, the Offeror shall provide a rationale as to why there are no subcontracting opportunities for small businesses under this requirement.
