About this file
This is a Small Business Participation Plan Template for the Capacity Services Communications III (CSC III) solicitation issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The template requires offerors to document their small business utilization strategy against a total contract value of $953,000,000 across a combined five-year period. Offerors must specify participation percentages for the prime contractor, large business subcontractors, and small business subcontractors, ensuring that all categories total 100% of the evaluated price.
The template establishes minimum quantitative requirements (MQRs) for small business participation: 30% for Small Business (SB), 10% for Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 10% for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), 5% for Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), and 10% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Offerors must provide detailed explanations if proposed percentages fall short of MQRs, and zero percent goals are not acceptable without substantial justification. The plan requires identification of specific small businesses performing work, their designated categories, task areas tied to the Performance Work Statement, dollar amounts, complexity levels (low, medium, high), and the nature of commitment (enforceable or unenforceable). Offerors must provide documentation of enforceable commitments such as signed teaming agreements, mentor-protégé agreements, joint ventures, or subcontracting letters. Additionally, offerors must articulate their strategy to maximize small business utilization through public announcements, outreach events, intake sessions, and collaboration with DISA's Office of Small Business Programs, considering only prime and first-tier subcontractor participation toward small business goals.

| $* 953,000,000.00 |

*This should equal the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) (See addendum to FAR 52.212-1) **When combined, the Prime Contractor, Subcontracts to Large Business, and Subcontracts to Small Business Percentage totals must equal 100%
Note: The Small Business Participation Plan measures the percentage of the TEP while the Subcontracting Plan measures the percentage of the subcontracted dollars. Small Business Offerors will be required to report achievements against their Small Business Participation Plan while “Other Than Small Business” Offerors will be required to report results against both sets of goals during contract execution.
(b) Indicate the total percentage of participation to be performed by each type of small business category. The percentage of work performed by small businesses that qualify in multiple small business subcategories should be counted in each category. For example, if a company is a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Service- Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), the dollars subcontracted to that company should be counted for Small Business, WOSB and SDVOSB.

Provide detailed explanations when the percentages fall short of the MQRs listed in the solicitation. The Government does not recognize zero percent as an acceptable proposed goal. However, if zero goals are proposed for small businesses or any subcategory they shall be supported with a detailed explanation as to why the offeror cannot utilize small business. If the offeror does not submit a detailed rationale/explanation, the Government may deem the zero percentage as unacceptable. All percentages must use the TEP as a baseline. The Small Business Evaluation Board must be able to verify that each percentage is based on the TEP. Execution percentages will be based on actual dollars obligated.
(c) List principal services to be performed by small businesses. This list must include the specific task areas from the PWS and the complexity* (low, medium or high) that small businesses will perform for this specific requirement to include the dollars planned for each small business.

Documentation regarding enforceable commitments must be provided. For example: signed teaming agreements, mentor protégés agreements, joint ventures, subcontracting or partnership letters of commitment may be included to support your commitment to small business utilization.
