contract clauses pertaining to PII.

Q2. Does the business proposal need to include a

Small Business Subcontracting Plan? The RFP does not contain proposed tasks, and the tasks that might be performed do not appear to lend themselves to a Small Business Subcontracting

Plan.

A. To the extent that subcontracting possibilities exists to meet the small business goals identified in Section L, paragraph F (1)(c) of the RFP, Offerors are required to submit a small business subcontracting plan in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR)

19.702(a)(1). The plan is required in negotiated acquisitions to perform a contract that individually is expected to exceed $650,000. If an Offerors determines that subcontracting possibilities do not exist, the Offeror shall indicate such in their business proposal with a rationale as to why subcontracting possibilities do not exist. Please note that the subcontracting plan is not required under the circumstances identified in FAR 19.702(b).

II. The following change is made to the Request for Proposals SECHQ1-15-R-0028:

On page 37, Section L, Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors: The due date and time for submittal of Proposals is changed from

Monday, August 31, 2015 to Wednesday, September

2, 2015 at 3:00 pm EST.
