SERVICE CONTRACT BUSINESS MANAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE

Purpose:

The policy of the Federal Bureau of Prisons in acquiring services is to encourage firms lawfully engaged in the practice of performing Government required services to submit a statement of qualifications and performance data.

This questionnaire should only be submitted by a related services organization when requested to do so by the specific provisions of a solicitation, requested by the Contracting Officer, or public announcement.

This questionnaire may be used as a basis for selecting firms for discussions, or screening organizations preliminary to inviting submission of additional information.

Definitions:

(a) “Principals” are those individuals in a firm who possess legal responsibility for its management.

They may be officers, directors, owners, partners, and persons having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager, plant manager, head of a subsidiary, division or business segment, and similar positions).

(b) “Parent Company” is that firm, company, corporation, association, or conglomerate which is the major stockholder or highest tier owner of the firm completing the questionnaire; (i.e. Firm A is owned by Firm B which is, in turn, a subsidiary of Corporation C. The "parent company" is Corporation C).

(c) “Joint Venture” is a collaborative undertaking by two or more firms or individuals for which the participants are both jointly and individually responsible.
