1. Add C.3.47 to read:

C.3.47 Other Than Small Business Subcontracting

(1) For purposes of this subsection, the term “subcontractor” includes members of team arrangements. The Contractor agrees that the total amount of payments to Other Than Small business subcontractors and members of a contractor team arrangement that are not small business concerns shall not exceed 20% of Task Order proceeds (i.e., of payments by the Government to the Contractor). If the Contractor exceeds this limitation, the Contracting Officer shall give the Contractor written notice requiring the Contractor to reduce its use of Other Than Small business subcontractors or team members.

(2) If within 6 months of the date of the Contracting Officer’s notice, the Contractor’s payments to Other Than Small Business subcontractors and team members still exceed the limitation (calculated on a task-order-to-date basis), the Contracting Officer may assess liquidated dated damages in a manner and amount similar to that described in the clause FAR 52.219-16 Liquidated Damages-Subcontracting Plan (Jan 1999).

2. Change Section E.2.1, Evaluation Factors, Factor 3 to read:

Factor 3 – Small Business Participation Plan

(a) All Offerors (both large and small businesses) are required to provide a Small Business Participation Plan in accordance with Attachment 4. Offerors shall propose the level of participation of small businesses (as a small business prime and/or through subcontracting and/or other appropriate business relationships) in the performance of this acquisition.

b) Offeror’s proposal must meet the minimum mandatory Total Small Business Participation goal through collective small business participation from any type of small business or sub-category small business, whether small business prime or 1st tier small business subcontractor.

The subcategory small business goals are NOT mandatory. However, the Government will evaluate the proposal to determine which offeror(s) proposal the best value in terms of meeting all the Small Business Participation goals herein. The work to be performed directly by a small business prime will be evaluated as small business participation. The small business participation goals for this acquisition are:

Total Small Business (any type of small business): 31% of total contract value Sub-category Small Business:

5.0% of total contract value to Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 5.0% of total contract value to Women Owned (WOSB) 3.0% of total contract value to HUBZONE

Attachment Page

PAGE 4 OF 4 ED-FSA-16-R-0009/0004

3 % of total contract value to Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB)

(Note, for example, that a participation plan that reflects 1% of the total contract value for WOSB would also count towards the overall Small Business Goal.

(c) Small Business Participation Plans will be evaluated on the basis of:

(1) The extent to which such Small Business firms are specifically identified in proposals;

(2) The extent of commitment to use such Small Business firms (and enforceable commitments will be considered more favorably than non-enforceable ones);

(3) Identification of the complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform;

(4) Past performance of the offeror in complying with the requirements of FAR clauses

52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns and 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan; and

(5) The extent of participation of small business prime offerors and 1st tier small business subcontractors in terms of the percentage of the value of the total acquisition and the extent to which the proposal meets or exceed the small business participation goals for this acquisition.

(d) Separate from the Small Business Participation Plan, large business offerors shall also submit a Subcontracting Plan as required by FAR 52.219-9, Alternate III. Subcontracting plans will be reviewed (as part of the responsibility determination of the apparent winners) to determine if they are acceptable. A large business will not be eligible for award if it fails to submit an acceptable Subcontracting Plan. Subcontracting Plans shall reflect and be consistent with the commitments offered in the Small Business Participation Plan.

Descript: The purpose of this amendment is to:

1. Provide responses to questions on the solicitation

2. Add C.3.47,Other Than Small Business Subcontracting.

3. Change Section E.1.1, Evaluation Factor, Factor 3, Small Business Participation Plan. ...See Continuation Page
