Attention Small Business Respondents interested in submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for this effort:

The acquisition strategy for this requirement has not been decided; however, the Air Force is contemplating setting this acquisition aside for small businesses if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability. A key factor in determining a Small Business Set-Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel with their own employees, as defined in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting.

• Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with RFO clause 52.219-14 would be achieved.

• Include specific details regarding any teaming or subcontracting arrangements. If subcontracts are to be used, provide the anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated, and previous experience in teaming must be provided.

Attention All Potential Respondents:

If this acquisition is not set aside for small business, it is anticipated that the contract may contain a small business subcontracting utilization requirement. Please provide feedback on what areas of this requirement are likely candidates for small business subcontracting.
