Small Business Procurement Initiative_2018.pdf

This document is a Small Business Procurement Initiative for 2018 issued by a state or local government. The initiative seeks to award contracts for various products and services to qualified small businesses. The document provides an overview of the procurement process, including response due dates, a mandatory bidder's conference, and the contract award timeline. The contracts will have an initial term of one year with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms.

The pricing structure allows for fixed-price, time and materials, and cost-reimbursement arrangements. The initiative includes small business set-asides, with a focus on minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned firms. Funding for the contracts will come from the state/local government's operating budget, with specific allocation amounts to be determined. The document also notes the incumbent contractors, if applicable, and the current market environment for the requested products and services.
