Subcontractor_Utilization_Plan.docx

This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, related to a procurement for one hundred (100) Glock 45 Generation 6 pistols and one hundred (100) Streamlight TLR7X weapon lights for the St. Petersburg Police Department. The form requires proposers to demonstrate their intent and efforts to engage small business enterprises (SBE), women business enterprises (WBE), veteran-owned businesses, and minority business enterprises (MBE) within the Tampa Bay Region. Proposers must articulate their strategies for engaging these business categories and removing barriers to participation through outreach, education, mentorship, and process improvements designed to increase diverse business participation.

Participation by small, veteran, minority, and women-owned business enterprises is voluntary, with no minimum participation levels required for contract award. Proposers will not be deemed non-responsive if they submit a Subcontractor Utilization Plan indicating zero participation from these business categories. However, the City encourages active engagement with small, veteran, minority, and women-owned business enterprises. Proposers are required to specify the anticipated percentage of contract amount allocated to each business category and to list all anticipated subcontractors in the applicable sections of the form.
