8(a) Incubator Multiple Award Contract (N65236-17-R-0002) Questions & Answers

25 January 2019

`1. Would the Government consider opening this solicitation to all 8(a) contractors?

Answer: No. As referenced in the Industry Day slides posted to SPAWAR e-Commerce, one of the objectives of this requirement is to provide business development opportunities for small socioeconomic disadvantaged business concerns within the developmental stage of the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program. Participation in this solicitation will be limited to firms in the Developmental Stage of the 8(a) program. Offerors who remain within the Developmental Stage at the time the solicitation closes and continues to meet all other applicable eligibility criteria may be eligible for award. Please note that 13 CFR 124.404(a) states that participation in the 8(a) business development program is divided into two stages, a four-year developmental stage and a five-year transition stage. Only companies in the first four years (i.e., Developmental Stage) will be eligible to propose.

2. Should every labor category be priced with the appropriate backup documentation submitted at the time of response to the solicitation?

Answer: Pricing shall be submitted in accordance with the solicitation with details on the supporting documentation that is required in FAR 52.215-20 identified in Section L (Draft) posted on the SPAWAR e- Commerce website. In general, all pricing must be supported by supporting documentation.

3. Due to the Government shutdown we have not been able to work with either the IRS or SBA to facilitate our paperwork as a Joint Venture. Should the solicitation be released prior to the shutdown ending we likely will not be able to have our JV formed because of the closed government offices. Please advise on what you believe we should do?

Answer: Please contact your respective SBA office as they can provide further guidance on their support during the Government Shutdown.
