Interested small businesses are encouraged to review this notice to become familiar with the requirements of this acquisition, and to submit a tailored capability statement that clearly details the ability to perform the functions described in the attachments. A separate capability statement is required for each functional capability area or subarea where the interested small business concern desires to provide demonstrated capability.

Past performance provided should include customer information and point of contact, contract number, contract type, contract value, role (prime or subcontractor). Past performance information should contain enough information about the performance for the government to determine relevancy to MDA’s requirement. If the prime contractor is proposing any small businesses as teammates/subcontractors to assist in the performance of any areas or subareas, then capability information, as stated above, should be provided as well for the proposed small business teammate/subcontractor and the prime contractor should also include capability information regarding their ability to manage subcontractors.
