2 26‐Oct‐23 Can you explain table 1 small business an large business in Attachment 5, page 3?

31‐Oct‐23

The table on page 3 is an example how dollar and percentage are annotated on the Subcontracting Plan. If the Total Dollars to be subcontracted is: $1,000,000, then the allocated dollars between Large Business and Small business MUST equal the Total dollars allocated. Hence, page 3 example show Large Business is $600,000 and Small Business is $400,000 equaling the $1,000,000.

Regarding the other parts of the table it shows, sample dollar amounts and based on the dollar goal will determine the percentage. Hence: Total for Veteran Owned Small Business Concerns is $20,000 then $20,000 / $1,000,000 = .02%
