| SMALL BUSINESS | | |
| If you intend to compete as a prime contractor and/or you want to provide context for the Government's market research inclusion, please provide the anticipated subcontractor information for large and small business subcontractors including: a description of supplies/services/functional areas to be performed, identification of business size (i.e. LB, SB, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, ) the applicable NAICS code associated with the work, t and the anticipated percent of the total contract value to be subcontracted to each business size/type based on the DRAFT PWS provided. As needed, add additional ROWS to provide your response. | | |
| Description of Supplies/Services/Functional Area | Business Size/type (i.e. LB, SB, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone) | NAICS* |
| (*see Note below table) | % of total contract value | | |
*NOTE: You should assign the NAICS code to each potential subcontract based on the nature of work being subcontracted. Be advised, that the contracting officer established NAICS 517810 for the basic contract. You are not bound to use this NAICS when reporting your small business subcontracting possibilities if the work you are subcontracting is not similar in nature to this NAICS. For example, if small business subcontracting opportunities exist for Environmental Consulting Services (NAICS 541620), use this NAICS code to report the small business subcontracting opportunities, and not NAICS 517810. In all cases, to qualify as a small business, subcontractors must meet the size standard (see 13 CFR 121) for the NAICS code of the subcontract.
