L.4.4.4 If the Offeror (to include any U.S. small business concerns who are proposing as part of a joint venture or teaming arrangement) is itself a U.S. small business concern, the Offeror's own participation as a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, or SDVOSB will also be considered small business participation for the purpose of this evaluation. 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.

L.4.4.5 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.

L.4.4.6 The Offeror shall provide information for small business participation and subcontracting in a table format in accordance with the following example:

8 11

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

| Small Business Participation Tables (in millions)

| Business Category | $ Cost All Contracts | % of SB Participation | Cost Total SubK |

| Contract Total Price | $48.954 | | |

| SB | $11.75 | 24.00% | $11.75 of $48.954 |

| SDB | $3.26 | 6.65% | $3.26 of $48.954 |

| SDB | $2.69 | 5.50% | $2.69 of $48.954 |

| HBCU/MI | $0.56 | 1.15% | $0.56 of $48.954 |

| WOSB | $1.76 | 3.60% | $1.76 of $48.954 |

| HUBZone SB | $1.22 | 2.50% | $1.22 of $48.954 |

| VOSB | $1.76 | 3.60% | $1.76 of $48.954 |

| SDVOSB | $1.66 | 3.40% | $1.66 of $48.954 |

L.4.4.6.1 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.

L.4.4.6.2 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.

L.4.4.7 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 or Services | Total $ (in Millions) |

9 11

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

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

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

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

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.

L.4.4.8 If the Offeror IS NOT a U.S. small business concern and must submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan under the RFP in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be consistent with the Offeror's Small Business Participation proposal information provided in response to D.4.4.5 (recognizing that the Small Business Subcontracting Plan percentages will be different in that the percentage calculation denominator is total subcontracting amount as opposed to this Small Business Participation

Factor where the percentage calculation denominator is the Offeror's proposed Contract Price).

L.4.4.9 Compliance with FAR 52.219-9.

L.4.4.9.1 Offerors which are both: (a) other than U.S. small business concerns (as defined by the NAICS code applicable to the 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:

Provide a description of their performance in complying with the requirements of FAR 52.219-9, including documentation of both their goals and their accomplishment of the goals established under subcontracting plans of prior contracts performed over the past twelve

(12) months (from date of solicitation issuance). This documentation shall include Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISRs/DD Form 294s) which list both goals and accomplishments against individual or master plans. If over the last twelve (12) months from the date of RFP release, the Offeror reported accomplishments against commercial or comprehensive subcontracting plans in lieu of individual or master plans, the Offeror shall submit the plans to document the goals and the Summary Subcontract Reports (SSRs/DD Form 295s) to document the accomplishments. (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).

L.4.4.9.2 Offerors which have had prior contracts requiring a Small Business Subcontracting Plan IAW FAR 52.219-9 and provide the information requested in D.4.4.9.1 above shall not respond to D.4.4.10 below.

L.4.4.9.3 If the reporting entity listed on a subcontracting report is different from the name of the proposing prime, provide an explanation of the legal relationship between the other entity and the proposing prime and a description of how the other entity's small business accomplishments reported are applicable to the current proposal. This explanation should include Business Name, CAGE Code and

DUNS number of the other entity and the proposing prime.

L.4.4.10 Approach to meeting FAR 52.219-8. Offerors which are either U.S. small business concerns, or other than U.S. small business concerns (as defined by the NAICS code applicable to the RFP) having had no prior contracts requiring a Small Business Subcontracting

Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 shall substantiate their proposed approach to meeting the requirement of FAR 52.219-8.

Substantiation may include providing:

(a) A description of the Offeror's performance, over the past twelve (12) months (from date of solicitation issuance), in complying with the requirements of FAR 52.219-8 (Note: if the Offeror has not performed a contract over the past twelve (12) months (from date of solicitation issuance), which included FAR 52.219-8, the Offeror shall so state);

(b) A description and available documentation of any methods or techniques used to promote small business participation;

(c) Any listings of U.S. small business concerns who are subcontracting candidates;

(d) Internal procedures used to monitor small business participation during contract performance; and/or

(e) Any other information substantiating that the Offeror will satisfy the requirements of FAR 52.219-8.
