Industry Day 3 Slides v2.pptx

ROEs for Questions The chat window is for questions only – Include your companies name prior to the question Ex: Company A – Do we ask questions in the chat window?

All questions must be posted into the chat.

Following the presentation there will be a Q&A session. Questions about other programs will not be addressed.

The chat window will be open to receive questions throughout the briefing – It is recommended that Vendors wait until the Q&A session to avoid redundant questions.

Once a question is submitted, it will be reviewed internally to determine whether it is immediately answerable (e.g. is it relevant, is the information requested releasable, etc.), answerable later (requires further analysis), or is non-answerable.

As time and resources allow, the Government will do its best to answer verbally in real time. This may not be achievable. However, the Government will provide a response to any missed questions in the formalized Q&A submitted on Sam.gov.

SAM.gov will include all the answerable questions and will be sanitized of any identifiable information.

Industry Day is being recorded for Internal Use ONLY Government Attendees: Questions must be sent through Teams/Email

IDIQ Tactical Overview New Concept

*- Task Order numbers are for illustrative purposes only and are not a set-aside guarantee.

IDIQ: Full and Open Competition with Small Business Reserve The Reserve will include slots for SB's, 8(a)s, HUBZone, Woman-Owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned SB's Small Businesses (including SDBS) are strongly encouraged to form Small Business Teaming Arrangements (partnerships with other SB concerns) and Mentor-Protégé relationships (Mentor can be an SB or other-than-small) Evaluation for the Small Business Reserve will be the same as those not in the Small Business Reserve SB's in the Reserve will compete against the other IDIQ holders for awards, except for orders that are set aside On-ramping will occur approximately one year into the IDIQ, and additionally as needed, to bring additional Small Businesses (to include SBTAs, Joint Ventures, and Mentor-Protégés) into the IDIQ

Small Business Subcontracting Goals and Small Business Participation Commitments will be evaluated Contractor goals will be 30% of each order value subcontracted to Small Business concerns

Strategy to engage SBs for direct Task Order awards Government will have a 34% goal for Task Orders awarded to SBs Small Business Reserve will be the primary way to meet that goal Complexity and mission requirements will guide whether orders are set aside for Small Businesses or Small Business Concerns
