INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE SMALL DIVERSE BUSINESS (SDB)

PARTICIPATION SUBMITTAL AND SDB UTILIZATION SCHEDULE.

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING THESE DOCUMENTS

Bidders/Offerors do not need to return SDB-1 with their SDB Participation Submittal

The following instructions include details for completing the SDB Participation Submittal (SDB-2) which Bidders or Offerors must submit in order to be considered responsive.

The following instructions also include details for completing the SDB Utilization Schedule (SDB-3), which Bidders or Offerors must submit for any portion of the SDB participation goal the Bidder or Offeror commits to meeting.

A Bidder/Offeror’s failure to meet the SDB participation goal in full or their failure to receive an approved Good Faith Efforts waiver for any unmet portion of the SDB participation goal will result in the rejection of the Bid or Proposal as nonresponsive.

I. SDB Participation Goal: The SDB participation goal is set forth in the Solicitation. The Bidder/Offeror is encouraged to use a diverse group of subcontractors and suppliers from the SDB classifications to meet the SDB participation goal.

II. SDB Eligibility:

1. Finding SDB firms. Offerors can access the directory of DGS-verified SDB firms from the DGS Supplier Search directory at: http://www.dgs.internet.state.pa.us/suppliersearch.

2. Only SDBs verified by DGS. and as defined herein may be counted for purposes of achieving the SDB participation goal. In order to be counted for purposes of achieving the SDB participation goal, the SDB firm, including an SDB prime, must be DGS-verified for the services, materials or supplies that it has committed to perform on the SDB Utilization Schedule (SDB-3). A firm whose SDB verification is pending or incomplete as of the bid or proposal due date and time shall not be counted towards the SDB participation goal. Offerors cannot use self-certified SBs that do not have their SDB verification as of the bid or proposal due date and time to meet the SDB participation goal.

3. SDB Requirements. To be considered an SDB, a firm must be a DGS-verified small minority business enterprise (MBE); woman business enterprise (WBE); LGBT business enterprise (LGBTBE); Disability-owned business enterprise (DOBE); Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (SDVBE); or otherwise deemed disadvantaged by the Uniform Certification Program.

Additional information on the DGS verification process can be found at:

Revised: January 26, 2024 SDB-1.2

4. Dually verified SDB/VBE firms. If a DGS-verified SDB is dually verified as a VBE, the firm will receive credit towards both the SDB participation goal and the VBE participation goal as set forth on the SDB and VBE Participation Summary Sheet. This credit may exceed the participation goal percentage, as shown in the example below.

Example: The SDB participation goal is 10% and the VBE participation goal is 5%. A subcontractor is DGS-verified as both an SDB and a VBE and will perform 10% of the contract work. The bidder/ offeror can satisfy both the SDB participation goal and the VBE participation goal through that dually verified subcontractor’s performance of 10% of the contract work, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing and approved by BDISBO and the Issuing Office. Based on this example, the percentage commitment indicated on SDB-3 for SDB work on this contract would be 10%, and the VBE percentage commitment indicated on VBE-3 on this contract would be 10% as well. These contractual commitments meet the SDB participation goal of 10% and exceed the 5% VBE participation goal for this contract. Please note that the dually verified SDB/VBE firm only receives 10% of the contract work based on the example above.

Importantly, consideration of SDB and VBE submittals will still be independent of one another even when utilizing one or more dually verified firms.

5. Participation by SDB firms as bidders/offerors or subcontractors. A Bidder/Offeror that qualifies as an SDB and submits a bid or proposal as a bidder/offeror is not prohibited from being included as a subcontractor in separate proposals submitted by other Bidders/Offerors.

An SDB may be included as a subcontractor with as many bidders/offerors as it chooses in separate bids or proposals and a bidder/offeror may not prohibit an SDB from committing to any other bidder/offeror.

6. Questions about SDB verification. Questions regarding the SDB program, including questions about the self-certification and verification processes can be directed to:

Department of General Services Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO) North Office Building, Room 611, Harrisburg, PA 17125 Phone: (717) 783-3119 Email: RA-BDISBOVerification@pa.gov Website: www.dgs.pa.gov

III. Guidelines Regarding SDB Prime Self-Performance:

1. An SDB firm participating as a prime bidder or offeror on a procurement may receive credit towards the SDB Participation goal established for the procurement through their own self-performance.

Example: A solicitation has a 15% SDB participation goal. An SDB prime offeror self-performing contract work valued at only 10% of contract costs (if permitted by the solicitation documents) must still satisfy the remaining 5% SDB participation goal through subcontracting or must request a Good Faith Efforts Waiver for the unmet SDB participation goal. Failure to satisfy the remaining 5% SDB participation goal or failure to obtain a Good Faith Efforts waiver for the unmet portion of the SDB participation goal will result in rejection of that SDB prime’s bid or proposal as non-responsive.

PARTICIPATION SUBMITTAL AND SDB UTILIZATION SCHEDULE.

Revised: January 26, 2024 SDB-1.3

2. For an SDB prime bidder or offeror to receive credit for self-performance, the SDB prime bidder or offeror must list itself in the SDB Utilization Schedule (SDB-3).

3. The SDB prime bidder or offeror must also include the classification category (MBE, WBE, LGBTBE, DOBE, and/or SDVBE) under which it is self-performing and include information regarding the work it will self-perform. For any portion of the SDB participation goal not met through the SDB prime bidder or offeror’s self-performance, the SDB bidder or offeror must also identify on the SDB Utilization Schedule (SDB-3) the other SDB subcontractors it will use to meet the unmet portion of the goal or must request and receive a Good Faith Efforts waiver.

IV. Calculating SDB participation:

1. The selected Bidder or Offeror may only count dollar amounts actually paid to an SDB for performance of a Commercially Useful Function (the performance of a distinct element of work required for the Contract, with the requisite skill and expertise) towards satisfying its SDB participation commitments. In addition, the SDB subcontractor, through its own employees, must perform at least 50% of the amount of the subcontract.

V. Additional Required Documentation

1. The Bidder or Offeror must submit along with its SDB Participation Submittal (SDB-2) a letter of commitment (LOC) (SDB-3-1) for each subcontractor included in its SDB Utilization Schedule (SDB-3). At a minimum, each LOC must contain the following unless otherwise specified by the solicitation documents:

a. The fixed numerical percentage commitment and associated estimated gross dollar value of the commitment made to the SDB; and

b. A description of the services or supplies the SDB will provide; and

c. The timeframe during the initial contract term and any extensions, options and renewals when the SDB will perform or provide the services and/or supplies; and

d. The name and telephone number of the Bidder or Offeror’s point of contact for SDB participation; and

e. The name, address, and telephone number of the primary contact person for the SDB;

and

f. Signatures of representatives of both the Bidder/Offeror and the SDB subcontractor who are authorized to contractually bind their firm.

g. Bidder/Offeror shall pay SDBs, after receipt of a proper invoice and all other required documentation from an SDB, within 10 days after receipt of payment from the Commonwealth.

Revised: January 26, 2024 SDB-1.4

VI. Document Submittal Errors:

1. Fatal errors. The following errors will result in rejection of a bid or proposal as non-responsive:

a. Failure to submit a completed SDB Participation Submittal (SDB-2);

b. Failure to submit an SDB Utilization Schedule (SDB-3), unless the bidder or offer is seeking a complete Good Faith Efforts waiver;

c. Failure to make commitments to and list DGS-verified SDBs that will be used to meet the SDB participation goal, unless the bidder or offeror’s commitments to other DGS-verified SDBs meet or exceed the SDB Participation goal;

d. Failure to submit a Good Faith Efforts waiver request when not fully meeting the SDB participation goal.

Example: A bidder/offeror lists a subcontractor that possesses a third-party certificate issued by one of the DGS-approved third party certifying entities;

however, the subcontractor did not complete its DGS SDB verification as of the bid or proposal due date and time. The bidder/offeror does not receive credit for any commitments made to the subcontractor and has therefore not met the SDB participation goal. The bidder/offeror cannot cure this error. Therefore, the bid or proposal must be rejected as non-responsive.

2. Potentially curable errors. The Issuing Office and BDISBO may provide Bidders or Offerors the opportunity to provide clarifications or to correct errors not listed as fatal errors above. If the additionally submitted information does not adequately address or clarify the submittal, the bid or proposal may be rejected. Bidders or Offerors are not permitted to add additional SDBs or make material changes as part of its clarifications or corrections in order to meet the SDB participation goal.

3. Solicitations with Multiple Lots or Base Bids. If the Bid or Proposal contains separate Lots or multiple Base Bids, an Offeror must complete and submit a separate SDB Participation Submittal (SDB-2) and accompanying required documentation for EACH Lot or Base Bid for which it is submitting a bid or proposal. Each separate SDB Participation Submittal and accompanying required documentation must be labeled to identify the corresponding Lot or Base Bid. Failure to submit an SDB Participation Submittal and accompanying required documentation for each Lot or Base Bid will result in the rejection of the bid or proposal for each Lot or Base Bid for which an SDB Participation Submittal was not submitted.
