PART 2: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

This section is for Small Business respondents who are interested in this effort as a prime contractor. The acquisition strategy has not yet been determined; however, the Air Force may set this acquisition aside for small businesses if sufficient interest and capability are demonstrated.

• A key factor in setting aside an acquisition for Small Business is that at least two or more small businesses must be capable of performing at least 50% of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel with its own employees, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) overhaul (RFO) clause 52.219-14, "Limitations on Subcontracting."

• Please provide specific details and rationale as to how your company would comply with RFO 52.219-14.

• If you plan to use subcontractors, describe your teaming arrangements and provide the anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted, specifying whether the subcontractors are small or large businesses.
