Clause - 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting

Clause - 252.204-7997, NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements.

In the case of solicitation W912EE26BA002, implementation of a NIST SP 800-171 assessment is not a requirement since there is no covered defense information provided by the Government in the release of the solicitation, and the solicitation contains no controlled technical information.

All information related to this project has been posted for full public view at www.sam.gov.

(B) Reference Limitations on Subcontracting FAR 52.219-14. This procurement is Unrestricted under NACIS Code 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction - Dredging and Surface Cleanup Activities. The small business size standard is $37,000,000. The awardee of this contract shall comply with all requirements up to and including the following:

Services (except construction): Contractor will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract.

Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies): Contractor will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both supplies and services, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the supply portion of the contract.

General construction: Contractor will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

Construction by special trade contractors: Contractor will not pay more than 75 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 75 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

Upon the Contracting Officer's request, the Contractor shall submit a report to the Contracting Officer documenting compliance with FAR 52.2l9-l4. If the Contractor is using Similarly Situated Entities, it must be clearly identifiable in the submitted reports. If the required percentage is not being met the Contractor shall also include, with the semiannual report, a plan to meet the required percentage before the contract end date.

The below calculation for FAR 52.219-14 is for example only and not representative of this solicitation or any contract that may be awarded as a result of this solicitation.

1. Total value of contract award = $5,000,000.00

2. Cost of materials = $3,000,000.00

3. Adjusted amount (contract award value less cost of materials): $2,000,000.00 ($5,000,000.00 - $3,000,000.00)

4. 85% of $2,000,000.00 may be paid to non-similarly situated entities ($1,700,000.00)

5. 15% of $2,000,000.00 must be paid to a similarity situated entity ($300,000.00)

What is similarly situated and what does it mean for the prime?

i. 1st tier subcontractor that has the same small business program status of the qualified prime contractor (i.e. HUBZone prime contractor, any HUBZone subcontractor is similarly situated).

ii. Any 1st tier subcontracts to similarly situated entities can count towards the prime contractor's self-performance requirements.

iii. Example: HUBZone Set-Aside Contract, 1st Tier is a HUBZone Small Business subcontractor. This meets the similarly situated requirement and the work performed by the HUBZone subcontractor will count towards the HUBZone prime contractor's self-performance requirement.

iv. Example: SDVOSB Set Aside Contract, 1st Tier is a WOSB subcontractor only, this does not meet the "similarly situated" requirement and the WOSB subcontractor performance does not count towards the SDVOSB prime contractor's self-performance requirement.
