Questions for Solicitation SBAHQ-16-Q-0067

Research on Small Business Contributions to Indirect Exports

1.) The statement of work on this RFP (Small Business Indirect Exports) lists a Peer Review or External Consultant step in milestone III. Is the peer identification by the consultant or by SBA or jointly? Are the peers external or internal to SBA? It appears from the milestone table that the peer review process is continuous after completion of first draft rather than only on methodology and data. Is this a correct interpretation?

Peer review is conducted by SBA Advocacy, specifically the COR. Peers can be both internal and external to SBA. As with for example academic journal publications, the determining factor for peer reviewer assignments is relevant technical or subject matter expertise in the topic field.

The peer review process is continuous in the sense that the contractor/researcher is expected to respond to peer review comments and where relevant to incorporate peer review feedback into subsequent drafts.
