76 Section L, L.14 (c), Subfactor C

N/A Subfactor C(a)(7) states, " NOTE: FOR

PURPOSES OF THE SMALL BUSINESS

SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, THE PROPOSED

GOALS SHALL BE STATED AS A PERCENT OF

TOTAL SUBCONTRACTS, NOT

AS A PERCENT OF THE IDIQ MAXIMUM

ORDERING VALUE, REFER TO THE BELOW

EXAMPLE".

The note makes previous and later instructions in this section unclear as it states goals should be based on "percent of total subcontract, not as a percent of the IDIQ Maximum Ordering Value" when all other instructions and the example also state goals will be expressed as a percent of the IDIQ Maximum Ordering Value.

Clarification The Government will correct the note to read "stated as a percent of total subcontracts, and as a percent of the total IDIQ Maximum Ordering Value…" in the Final RFP.
