Table L4: Template for the Summary Table

SB Participation Plan

Total

Small Business (SB) %

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) %

Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) %

HUBZone Small Business (HUBZone SB) %

Small Disadvantaged Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) %

All Offerors regardless of size shall submit a Small Business Participation Plan presenting percentages in terms of total dollars of work for each SB category, divided by the total contract value.

The Offeror shall identify the extent and nature of participation of SB, WOSBs, HUBZone SBs, and SDVOSBs in the performance of the proposed contract. Participation includes subcontractors or material suppliers to the prime contractor or subcontractors. Offerors shall include in the percentages their own participation as an SB, WOSB, HUBZone SB or SDVOSB.

The plan shall include:

a. The name and DUNS number (or CAGE code) of each firm included in the plan;

b. A copy of the System for Award Management (SAM) profile for each firm included in the plan;

c. Discussion of the specific components or services each firm will deliver or perform;

d. Identification of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (appropriate to the principal nature of the planned subcontract) supporting each firm’s size status;

e. The estimated total dollar value provided to each small business including the prime if they are a small business;

f. The percentage of total contract value provided to each small business including the prime if they are a small business;

g. Evidence of any enforceable commitments in place between the Offeror and the participating small businesses (i.e., detailed supporting documentation regarding the individual commitments).

If applicable, for each category in which the Offeror’s SB Participation Plan contains goals below the Government’s

SB Utilization Objectives, the offeror shall provide a detailed explanation as to how the Offeror will increase the percentages for performance under contract. Justifications adequately describing valid actions toward increasing percentage goals will receive an acceptable rating.

SB Utilization Objectives:

The Government’s Participation objectives for this acquisition are:

Small Business: 5%

Small Disadvantaged Business: 1.25%

Women-Owned Small Business: 1.25%

HUBZone Small Business: 1.25%

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business: 1.25%

L.3.2.3.1 Small Business Subcontracting Plan - LARGE BUSINESSES ONLY (Evaluated in Section M.5.5.2, Factor 4: SB Subcontracting Plan)

The SB Subcontracting Plan is only required from large business Offerors (i.e., not a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone

SB or SDVOSB) and will be incorporated into any resultant contract. The SB Subcontracting Plan describes the

Offeror’s approach to maximizing small businesses opportunities in this effort relative to the subcontracted portion’s value. The Offerors shall present their SB Subcontracting Plan percentages in terms of total dollars of work for each

SB category divided by the total value of subcontracts.

FAR 52.219-9 sets forth the SB Subcontracting Plan’s required elements. Offerors should address their SB

Subcontracting Plans’ elements in an order similar to the FAR order to demonstrate they meet each element of the

SB Subcontracting Plan. The Offeror shall provide the CAGE code or DUNS number for each proposed subcontractor and include the NAICS code (appropriate to the principal nature of the planned subcontract) supporting each proposed subcontractor’s size status. The information in the Offeror’s SB Subcontracting Plan must correlate with its SB Participation Plan.

The Government’s SB Subcontracting Plan objectives for this acquisition are:

Small Business: 33%

Small Disadvantaged Business: 5%

Women-Owned Small Business: 5%

HUBZone Small Business: 3%

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business: 3%

Offerors proposing a SB Subcontracting Plan with percentages below the Government’s subcontracting objectives shall, for each category below the objective, explain in detail why they are unable to meet the objectives and what measures, if any, they will take to meet the objectives.

L.3.2.4 Volume II – Price (Evaluated in Section M.5.3, Factor 2: Price)

Offerors may structure their own quantity ranges for quantities of 1 to 5,000 systems but shall propose step-ladder unit pricing for CLINs 0001 – 0004. The step-ladder pricing shall be valid for the entire 60-month ordering period.

L.3.2.4.1 The Offer

The Price Proposal shall include a completed, signed copy of the entire solicitation (and all amendments) with all appropriate “fill-in” sections completed as follows:

a. Section A: An official having the authority to bind the Offeror contractually shall sign the SF-1449. If the individual is not an officer of the company, the proposal shall include written evidence of the individual’s authority to bind the Offeror under contract to a course of action, such as a written delegation of authority signed by an officer of the company.

b. Section B: Follow the below instructions for CLIN pricing:

1. Offerors shall enter the unit prices and total amounts for each CLIN.

2. Offerors shall include their overall proposed price at the end of the Schedule of

L.4 Incorporation of Technical Proposal

The Government may incorporate all or part of the successful Offeror’s technical proposal in any contract resulting from this solicitation. Additionally, the Performance Specification in the awarded contract will reflect all above-minimum performance levels or capabilities for which the Government gave evaluation credit during source selection. Nothing contained in the successful Offeror’s technical proposal shall constitute a waiver to any other requirement within the contract. The Order of Precedence clause governs in instances of conflicts between the successful Offeror’s technical proposal and any other requirement of the contract. When the Offeror’s proposal exceeds the Government’s requirement, the Offeror’s proposed solution will become the new contract requirement.

The successful Offeror shall provide, as necessary, any updated technical proposal changes reflecting the results of any clarification or discussion. If the Government discovers after award that the awardee did not incorporate changes into the contract resulting from any clarification or discussion, such changes to the Contractor’s documents shall be administrative in nature, and the Government may unilaterally modify the contract accordingly at no change in contract price or other terms and conditions.

L.5 Pre-Contract Costs

Pre-contract costs are NOT authorized.

L.6 Questions Regarding the Solicitation

Offerors shall carefully read this solicitation’s terms and conditions and refer any questions in writing to the Contract
