Provide information and recommendations for fashioning this proposed acquisition. Recommendation areas may include the scope, the type of contract, anticipated contract terms and conditions, incentives, variations in delivery schedule, price and/or cost proposal support, and data requirements, contract pricing, and any other areas that the responder believes is relevant for the Government to achieve its stated objectives. The responder may opine regarding what portion of the work could be set-aside for small businesses if all the required work cannot be provided by a small business. Details to support any recommendations for partial small business set-asides should be included.

Are the qualifications specified for each position comparable with the qualifications that would ordinarily be required of a similar position within the industry?

Do you have any recommendations as to whether the requirements should be kept together the way it is currently? Or would it make more sense to divide the requirements? If recommend splitting, how should it be spilt?

If Responder is a Large Business, what percentage of work do you plan to set aside to a Small Business (SB)? If Responder is a SB, please discuss how you would comply with FAR 52.219-14 Limitation on Subcontracting? What percentage of work will be performed by the SB Prime and what percentage of work that will be subcontracted to a similarly situated entity? As defined in FAR 19.001, a similarly situated entity means a first-tier subcontractor, including independent contractor, that— 1) has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award (e.g., for a small business set-aside, any small business concern, without regard to socioeconomic status); and 2) is considered small for the size standard under the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract.
