For projects performed as a subcontractor or a JV/LLC/LP involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

NOTE: If the Firm/Offeror is a JV/LLC/LP, projects performed by the JV/LLC/LP should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the JV/LLC/LP, such as in the case of a newly formed JV/LLC/LP, projects shall be submitted for each partner, not to exceed a total of four (4) projects for each partner.

Subfactor (B) Participation of Small Business Concerns

All LARGE BUSINESS Firms/Offerors shall submit a draft Small Business Subcontracting Plan, in which they will be evaluated on the extent to which they identify and commit to the published Small Business Subcontracting Program. The Secretary of the Navy has assigned the Naval Facilities Engineering Command goals for FY2019 in terms of percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars for utilization of small businesses. FY2020 goals are currently being updated and may be provided once they are finalized. For evaluation purposes of this criterion, use FY19 goals. Demonstrate the Firm’s/Offeror’s plan to meet the following goals:

FY2019

SB 45.00%

HubZone 3.00%

WOSB 15.00%

SDVOSB 5.00%

VOSB 5.00%

If the Prime is submitting as a Joint Venture or other entity consisting of more than one firm, identify the percentage of work each member will be responsible for and indicate the size status of each member (e.g. small business, woman-owned small business, other than small business).

If a large business firm is selected for award, a Small Business Subcontracting Plan, in accordance with FAR 19.7 and DFAR 219.7, will be required and incorporated into the contract award.

The Small Business size standard classification is NAICS 541330, Engineering Services, size standard $16.5M.
