Attachment F_COBID_Certification_and_Outreach_Plan_IntRFP_W912JV26C3001_v1.pdf

This attachment is a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan form required by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Procurement Services for the Boardman WGS Habitat Restoration and Mitigation Intermediate RFP (W912JV26C3001) solicited by the Oregon Military Department. The form serves as part of the procurement process to ensure that small businesses certified under Oregon Revised Statutes 200.055 by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) are provided equal opportunities to compete for and participate in subcontracting work resulting from this procurement.

Offerors submitting proposals must complete this two-page certification form, which requires disclosure of the offeror's own COBID certification status if applicable, identification of any certified firms with which the offeror has had contractual relationships within the previous two years, and identification of non-certified firms that may qualify as minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or emerging small businesses. For offerors that foresee subcontracting opportunities, the form mandates description of steps to solicit certified firms, identification and dollar valuation of anticipated subcontracting opportunities, and willingness to report subcontractor identities and values to COBID upon contract award. The information submitted in response to this outreach plan will not be considered in any scored evaluation of proposals. Certified firm categories include disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), minority-owned businesses (MBE), woman-owned businesses (WBE), service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDV), and emerging small businesses (ESB).
