CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY:

In order to determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part 9.104, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and equipment to be used in performing the work (see Attachments, Pre-award Survey).

If the contractor or subcontractor does not already have sufficient resources demonstrated in the completed Pre-award Survey, acceptable evidence of "the ability to obtain" the required, adequate resources normally consists of a commitment or explicit arrangement that will be in existence at the time of contract award to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel.

Bidders shall provide letters from banks or other financial institutions with which the contractor conducts business. The letters should contain information about your firm's accounts, loans, lines of credit, etc. The Government is interested in financial stability, timely payments, the length and nature of the relationship between the firm and the financial institution, and the firm's financial ability to perform the contract.

The letters should also provide the name and telephone number of the bank representative the Government may contact. If a Joint Venture, provide this information for each Joint Venture participant.

BASIS FOR AWARD:

The Government contemplates award of one contract to the responsive, responsible bidder who submits the low bid for the total of all CLINS listed in the SF 1442 and the submission of the completed Pricing Schedule, including Option Line Items.

PREPARATION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLAN:

(a) See FAR 52.219-9, Section 00 70 00, of this solicitation. Subcontracting Plans will be developed considering only the subcontracts actually to be awarded. Subcontracting Plans are required from other than small businesses if the contract price is over $1,500,000; they are not required from small business firms regardless of the contract price.

(b) For information on the evaluation of subcontracting plans, see Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, Appendix DD.

Small Businesses 30%

HUBZone Small Business 8%

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business 4.0%

The goals are calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL SUBCONTRACTING DOLLARS, NOT THE TOTAL
