In this event, the extent of the offeror participation as a

U.S. small business concern shall be detailed in the same manner as subcontracts to first-tier U.S. small business concerns.

D.4.4.4 Small Business Amounts: All offerors shall address anticipated U.S. small business concern participation and subcontracting based on the total contract dollars proposed by the offeror.

D.4.4.5 The offeror shall provide information for small business participation and subcontracting in a table format in accordance with the following example:

Small Business Participation Table

| Business Category | $ Cost All Subcontracts | % SB Participation | Cost Total SubK |

8 10

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

| Contract Total Price: $43.00M |

| SB | $10.34M | 24.0% | ($10.34M of $43M) |

| SDB | $2.86M | 6.65% | ($ 2.86M of $43M) |

| SDB | $2.36M | 5.5% | ($2.36M of $43M) |

| HBCU/MI | $.5M | 1.15% | ($ .5M of $43M) |

| WOSB | $1.55M | 3.6% | ($ 1.55M of $43M) |

| HUBZone SB | $1.08M | 2.5% | ($ 1.08M of $43M) |

| VOSB | $1.55M | 3.6% | ($ 1.55M of $43M) |

| SDVOSB | $1.46M | 3.4% | ($ 1.46M of $43M) |

D.4.4.5.1 Guidance for filling in the above "Small Business Participation" Table:

(a) Include first-tier subcontractors only. Note that members of a joint venture may be considered the offeror or the first tier subcontractors, depending on the legal form of the joint venture as defined in its agreement document.

(b) If the offeror is a U.S. small business concern, detail the extent of the offeror participation as a U.S. small business concern in the same manner as subcontracts to first tier U.S. small business concerns.

(c) Percentages should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

D.4.4.5.2 Additional Guidance for particular Business Categories:

(a) For "Contract Total Price": Include the offeror's proposed Total Contract Price on this line.

(b) For SB: Include U.S. small business concerns from all categories (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, SDVOSB and HBCU/MI) in the dollars and percentage on this line. The SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB are subcategories of SB and the dollars in each of these may not add to match the total dollars in the SB line due to the following: In some cases the same dollars may be reported in more than one block (i.e., a $10,000 subcontract to a Woman-Owned Small Business that is also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small

Business should be entered on four rows: $10,000 under SB, $10,000 under WOSB, $10,000 under VOSB and $10,000 under SDVOSB). Be sure that the dollars are counted in the SB line only once and not four times (e.g. $40,000 representing the same firm participating at

$10,000 in differing categories). Note that the SB percentage is not simply a total of the percentages of each SB subcategory and must be calculated separately as shown in the chart.

(c) For HUBZone SB: Include only "SBA certified" HubZone SBs. Note that this is different from some of the state HUB certifications.

(d) The term small disadvantaged business, when used in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, includes Historically Black Colleges and

Universities (HBCU) and Minority Institutions (MI), in addition to small disadvantaged business concerns. The percentages for HBCU and

MI shall be separately identifiable but included in the overall SDB percentage.

D.4.4.6 Small Business List: All offerors shall provide the names and CAGE codes of small business concerns (including the offeror if a small business concern) who would participate in accomplishing the proposed contract; the small business classification of each U.S.

small business concern (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB); a short description of the specific services to be provided by each small business concern; and the estimated total dollars for each service or product.

(a) This data shall be provided in a table format in accordance with the following example:

| Name of SB Concern | CAGE Code | Location | SB Class | Description of Supplies/Services | Total $ |

| ABC Co. | 123XX | City, USA | SB | Wire | $0.50M |

| DEF Co. | XX123 | City, USA | SB | Plating | $0.75M |

| GHI, Inc. | DD123 | City, USA | SB, WOSB, VOSB | Circuit Cards | $1.20M) |

(b) If a small business does not have a CAGE code, insert the word "None" in the table above. Note that during the evaluation, the Government may request that the offeror submit a letter from the small business affirming the information provided in your proposal.

(c) For SB Classifications(s), list all SB classifications that apply to each concern in the table above.

D.4.4.7 If the offeror IS NOT a U.S. small business concern and must submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan under this RFP in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be consistent with the offeror's Small Business Participation

D.4.4.8.1 Offerors which are both: (a) other than U.S. small business concerns (as defined by the NAICS code applicable to this RFP), and (b) have had prior contracts requiring the submission of a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 are to:

(Note: if the offeror has not performed a contract over the past twelve (12) months, which included FAR 52.219-9, the offeror shall so state).
