Common Helmet Mounted Display

The information provided for this factor shall demonstrate the Offeror's level of U.S. small business commitment for the proposed acquisition.

All Offerors are required to complete a Small Business Participation Proposal in accordance with the following proposal format:

(1) The Small Business Participation Plan applies to both large and small businesses and will be incorporated into any resultant contract. The following shall be submitted to evidence small business participation:

(a) Of the proposed TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE, not total subcontract value, identify the proposed dollar value and percentage of anticipated awards to small business. All percentages shall use TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE as a baseline.

Include only first tier U.S. subcontractors. If the prime 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 under NAICS ______, the Offeror’s own participation as a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, VOSB, and SDVOSB will also be considered small business participation to the extent it is qualified under NAICS ______ for the purpose of this evaluation.

Dollar Value *** Percentage of Total Contract Value

Large Business $ % Small Business* $ % Total Contract Value $ 100%**

Note:

*Small business includes: Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), HUBZone small business (HUBZone), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service- Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

**Include the prime offeror’s dollars and percentage. When combined, large and small business totals must equal 100%.

***Provide a chart for the basic contract period and each option period as well as a summary chart for the basic and all options.

(b) All Offerors, both small and large businesses, are required to submit Small Business Participation information in accordance with DFARS 215.304 that shall include the following:

(i) Type of Business of Prime Contractor (mark all that apply):

Large Business

OR

Small Business (also check type of Small Business below if applicable) Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) HUBZone Small Business (HUBZone) Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Service-Disabled Veteran –Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

(ii) Small Business Participation: Use the matrix below to propose your Small Business Participation. Indicate the total dollars and percentage of participation to be performed by large and small business and each type of small business subcategory. All percentages shall use TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE as a baseline. Small businesses that qualify in multiple small business categories should be counted in each category. There is no minimum Small Business Participation goal for this requirement. This is a competitive requirement;

therefore, the Offeror should propose its best effort for all socioeconomic categories.

Large Business $ % Small Business $ %

SDB $ %

Women-Owned SB $ % HUBZone SB $ % Veteran-Owned SB $ % Service-Disabled Veteran- Owned SB

Note: Provide the information by base year, each option year, and a summary of the base and option years.

(iii) Extent of Commitment:

Describe the extent of commitment to use small businesses (for example: what types of commitments, if any, are in place for this specific acquisition either such as small business prime, written contract, verbal, enforceable, non-enforceable, joint venturing, mentor-protégé, etc.). Enforceable agreements will receive a more favorable rating than non-enforceable agreements.

Provide documentation regarding commitments for this effort including teaming agreements. Copies of such agreements should be provided as part of your small business participation plan and will not count against the page limitation for this volume. These should be identified as attachment or appendix and pages numbered.

(iv) Intended subcontractors and principal supplies/services to be subcontracted, including complexity and variety of the work to be performed by each subcontractor:

Identify the Prime Offeror and type of service/supply that the Prime Offeror will provide. Then list each of the intended subcontractors and principal supplies/services to be provided by that subcontractor. Be as specific and detailed as possible (i.e., references to statement of work) in describing the type of service or supply being provided by the Prime and each subcontractor in order to demonstrate the variety and complexity of the work to be performed. Provide the Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code for the Prime and each intended subcontractor. Also provide the anticipated NAICS codes(s) that the Prime Offeror believes best describes the product or services being acquired by its subcontracts with each intended subcontractor. Small business Primes and small business subcontractors that qualify as small businesses in multiple small business categories should be listed in each applicable small business category.

Notes: (1) Pursuant to Sections 8(d) of the Small Business Act, a concern is small for subcontracts which relate to Government procurements if it does not exceed the size standard for the NAICS code that the prime contractor believes best describes the product or services being acquired by the subcontract. In other words, the size of your subcontractors and suppliers is determined by the NAICS code of their subcontract, which may or may not be the same NAICS code as the one for your prime contract with the Government.

(2) Be as specific and detailed as possible in describing the type of service or supply being provided by the Prime and each subcontractor in order to demonstrate the variety and complexity of the work to be performed.

Additional space other than this chart may be necessary to adequately address the required information.

(v) Intended subcontracting management and oversight.

Describe the Prime Offeror’s management plan and oversight methods to monitor subcontractor performance for the duration of contract. Provide previous successful monitoring methods used in other contract efforts. Provide past three years Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) describing successful management of subcontractors.

(vi) Evidence of past small business utilization in support of small business goal attainment on prior and similar work effort to ensure realistic and attainable goals.

Submit Prime Offeror’s last three years electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (e-SRS) showing evidence of goal attainment or progress toward goal attainment.

(2) Small Business Participation Past Performance.

All offerors shall submit information substantiating the offerors’ past performance in complying with FAR 52.219-8, “Utilization of Small Business,” maximizing opportunities for U.S. small business subcontractors. In addition, large business concerns shall submit information substantiating the offerors’ past performance in complying with FAR 52.219-9, “Small Business Subcontracting Plan.” Offerors shall also provide a statement indicating whether any negative information has been reported in the past three (3) years concerning the offerors’ past compliance with FAR 52.219-8 and/or FAR 52.219-9 (when applicable). If any such negative information has been reported, the offeror may submit explanations or comments responding to such negative information. Offerors with no prior contracts containing FAR 52.219-8 and/or FAR 52.219-9 shall certify the same. The Government may, in evaluating the responses to this subfactor, conduct follow-up interviews with offerors and/or subcontractors, submit questionnaires to both offerors and subcontractors, as well as review offeror information contained in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), or the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS).

(3) Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

(i) Separate from the Small Business Participation Plan, other than U.S. Small Business Offerors must also submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan meeting the requirements of FAR 52.219-9 and DFARS 252.219-7003 (DFARS 252.219-7004 for Comprehensive Subcontracting Plans). Large Businesses must submit an acceptable Subcontracting Plan to be eligible for award. Individual Subcontracting Plans shall reflect and be consistent with the commitments offered in the Small Business Participation Plan.

(ii) Per FAR 19.702(a)(1) and FAR 19.705-5(a)(5), the Small Business Subcontracting Plan is not a requirement for evaluation in source selection, but rather, a requirement for award to a large business and will be incorporated into any resultant contract. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan will not count against the page limitation for this volume. In addition to providing the Small Business Subcontracting Plan with the Offeror’s proposal submission, a copy of the plan shall be provided to the Offeror’s Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) as soon as possible after the issuance of this solicitation but no later than the date set for receipt of proposals. The proposal shall specify name, address, phone number, and e-mail address of the ACO to which the plan was submitted. Offerors that have an approved Comprehensive or Commercial Subcontracting Plan must still submit a separate Small Business Participation Plan.

Note: Subcontracting goals are calculated as a percentage of subcontracted dollars as opposed to small business participation goals which are calculated as a percentage of the total contract dollars.
