Volume V – Small Business Participation Factor Appendix I, Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD)

All offerors (both other than small businesses and small businesses) shall submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) requirements per Appendix I and provide substantiating documentation to demonstrate how you will meet these requirements. 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 IV, Small Business Participation. The SBPCD requirements will be incorporated into the base NGLD-M IDIQ contract vehicle. Binding commitments 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:

Prime Offeror’s Size:

{ } Other than Small Business or { } Small Business also categorized as a { } Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) { } Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) { } Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Business { } Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) { } Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

2. Small business concerns (SBC) as defined in FAR Part 19 are to be used in your proposed approach to satisfy the requirements of this solicitation for the entire performance period.

a) Identify in the below chart the SBCs by company name, business category(ies), description of products or services, specific PWS 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). Small business Primes and small business subcontractors that qualify as small businesses in multiple small business categories should be listed in each applicable small business category.

Hubzone, VOSB, SDVOSB)

(NAICS code assigned to subcontractor) 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 the commitment to use small businesses. Offerors that have enforceable agreements must provide fully executed copies (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. (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

3. Offerors proposed percentage:

a) Using the Small Business Participation table/format below, list your proposed quantitative participation in terms of the Offerors proposed value of the total acquisition (total contract value). Note: Total contract value is the Offerors proposed contract ceiling for the base period and all option years and cannot be a sample task/delivery order. Offerors shall provide explanations and/or documentation to support quantitative 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.
