Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the representation required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:

The Contractor represents that it (___) is, (___) is not a small business concern under NAICS Code 237310 -assigned to contract number FA4610-XX-D-XXXX.

If you are contemplating a joint venture on this project, you must advise, in writing, your assigned SBA Business Development Specialist (BDS) as soon as possible. The joint venture agreement must be received by SBA prior to proposal due date and approved before award of any resulting contract.

Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered non-responsive. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support cost/price and technical requirements in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Non-compliance with the instructions and RFP may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

B. Type of Acquisition: This acquisition is a competitive 8(a) requirement limited to contractors with a California General Engineering Contractor Type “A” License registered with the prime offeror’s company. For this acquisition, selection of the best value offeror(s) will be made using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) with the technical factors evaluated on a acceptable/unacceptable in accordance with DOD Source Selection, Appendix 1-A2 standards described in Section M.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M -

M-1: SOURCE SELECTION

A. Basis for Contract Award: This is a Multiple-Award Firm Fixed-Priced ID/IQ contract using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS), DoD Source Selection Procedures, Appendix A, and Air Force Mandatory Procedures 5315.3. These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the proposals with the lowest evaluated price from among those meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror(s) who are deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Subpart 9.1 as supplemented, and determined eligible by Small Business Administration in accordance with FAR Subpart 19.8, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors and sub-factors, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable proposal. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

B. Number of Contracts to Be Awarded: The Government intends to award up to three (3) contracts for this Base Paving program.

C. Discussions The Government intends to award without discussions; therefore, offerors should submit proposals that represent their best efforts. If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror’s proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror’s proposal be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

D. Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or sub-factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale.
