K.2 FAR 52.204-8 ANNUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS (FEB 2009)

(2) The small business size standard is $4.5 Million.

DTRT57-10-R-20012

Amendment No. A0001

(3) The small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, other than on a construction or service contract, but which proposes to furnish a product which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

I want to clarify that this is a full and open competition, and the small business size standard is $4.5 Million. The 500 employee line does not really apply under this solicitation. Am I correct in this assumption?

A.2. Solicitation No. DTRT57-10-R-20012 is being competed on a full and open basis and is intended to result in multiple awards. The small business size standard is $4.5 Million for NAICS code 541330. The small business size standard of 500 employees identified in paragraph K.2, subparagraph (a)(3) does not apply to this solicitation.

d) Please acknowledge receipt of this amendment with the submission of your proposal.

e) All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.
