Question 1: Can you provide details on how this industry day will be different than the one held on 27 August 2010 at the Southern MD Higher Education Center at Pax River?

Answer: A speaker from VA Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) has been added to the 27 September 2010 agenda and information regarding the process to become a subcontractor under a SeaPort contract will be given.

Question 2: Will our registration for the event be confirmed?

Answer: Registrations for the event will be confirmed.

Question 3: If the solicitation comes out as an SDVOSB set aside, our understanding is that mulitple SDVOSB companies can partner to cover 51% of the work in order to meet the requirements. If that is true, must all SDVOSB companies who make up the 51% Footprint be SEAPORT E Primes? What level of SEAPORT enrollment is required in order for an SDVOSB to help comprise a 51% SDVOSB work force that could qualify meet the requirments of and SDVOSB Set Aside solicitation?

Answer: Before we determine if we will be setting this requirement aside for any small business category we will be posting a Sources Sought Notice and evaluating the responses. As discussed at the Industry Day for a HubZone or SDVOSB set aside a prime contractor of these types can team with other of their approved subs or teaming partners of these types to meet the 51% requirement. This can be found in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.6-Contractor Team Arrangement, FAR Subpart 19.13-Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Programs, FAR Subpart 19.14-Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Procurement Program and FAR Clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting.
