Notice to prospective Offerors ( No change from Previous Amendments):

Although this requirement is currently a TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE, businesses of any size are invited to submit a proposal for this effort.

Please note that award preference will be given to a Technically Acceptable Small Business.

However, in the event that after evaluation no Small Business is deemed technically acceptable for award, the Government reserves the right to consider award to other than a Small Business.

To further clarify the process, Offerors are to clearly indicate their business size on the cover page of its proposal. This will aide in simplifying the process of separating the Small Businesses from other types of businesses.

The Technical Panel will first receive the Small Business proposals for evaluation. If no award can be made from the pool of Small Businesses, then they will be asked to evaluate the other proposals received.

When submitting proposals, Offerors should reference: “Proposal: Other than Small Business:

DTOS5916R00005” or “Proposal: Small Business: DTOS5916R00005.”

If there are questions, please feel free to contact myself or Jackie Howard via email. No telephonic inquiries will be accepted. Emails are preferred as to these become a part of the contract pre-award record.
