All documentation for this factor should address the Offeror's commitments to providing subcontracting opportunities, as well as evidence of planned and /or continued outreach efforts to encourage and use small businesses. This plan should include a breakdown of small business subcategories to be used as shown in (d) and (e) below.

9.4. Offerors should propose the level of participation of small businesses (as a small business prime, joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or small business subcontractors) in the performance of the acquisition relative to the objectives/goals set forth in the evaluation of this area. The SBPP should identify all categories for participation as part of the Offeror's team. This should include a general description of the type of work, product or service anticipated to be supplied via a small business concern.

9.5. A specific format is not required, however, items stated below (a) through (f) must be provided as a minimum.

9.5.1. Provide a Narrative addressing the corporate approach and methodology for acquiring, soliciting, and using small businesses in the performance of this contract.

The Narrative should address the Offeror's commitment to providing subcontracting opportunities, as well as evidence of planned and /or continued outreach efforts to encourage and use small businesses. The Narrative should provide detailed supporting documentation regarding the individual commitment expressed in percentages for evaluators to determine the goals stated are realistic.

9.5.2. Check the applicable size and categories for the PRIME Offeror for this procurement –

Check all applicable boxes:

{ } Large Prime

- or - { } Small Business Prime; also categorized as a:

{ } Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) { } Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) { } Historically Underutilized Zone (HUB Zone) Small Business { } Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) { } Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

9.5.3. Submit the total percentages of work to be performed by both large and small businesses (include the percentage of work to be performed both by Prime, joint venture, teaming arrangement, and subcontractors). Percentages are based on Total Contract Value. For this project, the small business participation goal is 25% of the Total Contract Value performed by the Small Business Community.

Total Percentage planned for Large Business(es): =______% Total Percentage planned for Small Business(es): =______% (Small Business Prime Contractors – Include yourselves in the above percentage.)

For example: If you are a Small Business Prime Contractor and will be doing 40% of the work and you will be subcontracting another 20% of the Total Contract Value to other small business firms, then your Total Percentage planned for Small Business will equal 60%.

9.5.4. Indicate the total percentage of participation to be performed by each type of subcategory small business. The percentage of work performed by Small Businesses that qualify in multiple small business categories may be counted in each category:

For example: Firm A (WOSB and SDVOSB) performing 2%; and Firm B (SDB, HubZ and WOSB) performing 3%. Results equate to: SB 5%; SDB 3%; HubZone 3%; WOSB 5%;

SDVOSB 2%; VOSB 2%;). SDVOSBs are also VOSBs automatically; however, VOSBs are not automatically SDVOSBs.

Percentage

Small Business Small Disadvantaged Business HUB Zone Small Business Woman Owned Small Business Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned SB Veteran-Owned Small Business

9.5.5. 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. 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.

Firm Name CAGE Code NAICS code Type of Service

Prime Offeror

Large Business

Small Business

SDB

WOSB

HUBZone

VOSB

SDVOSB

Note: Pursuant to Sections 8(d) of the Small Business Act, a business is considered small for 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. In other words, the size of the prime’s suppliers is determined by the applicable NAICS code of their joint venture, teaming partner, or subcontract, which may or may not be the same NAICS code as the one for your prime contract with the Government.

9.5.6. Describe the extent of commitment to use small businesses (e.g., what types of commitments, if any, are in place for this specific acquisition either – small business prime, written contract, verbal, enforceable, non-enforceable, joint venturing, mentor-protégé, etc.) Provide documentation regarding commitments to small business for this effort.

* NOTE: DO NOT SUBMIT PHASE 2: VOLUME III UNTIL AFTER THE AMENDMENT IS

ISSUED ONLY TO THOSE OFFERORS SELECTED FOR PHASE 2

10. VOLUME III – FACTOR 6 – PRICE AND PRO FORMA INFORMATION

10.1. Submission Requirements (There is no page limitation for Factor 6)

10.2. Price: This volume must consist of all information required to support proposed prices.

Certified cost and pricing data are not currently required; however, the Government reserves the right to request such data prior to award. The information submitted in this volume must comply with the submission requirements set forth below. The Offeror must ensure that the information submitted in this volume is consistent with and fully supports the amounts set forth in the price schedule, SF1442 and continuation sheets.

10.3. Your proposed price for this project must be in the form of the Proposal/Price Schedule provided in this solicitation and contained in Section 00 10 00. Offerors may not modify the price schedule wording or format. As this is a firm fixed-price contract, price proposals will not be considered which provide for subsequent increases in price. No qualified price proposal of any type will be accepted; therefore, all offers containing such qualifications will be considered unacceptable. If the Offeror does not comply with all requirements of the proposal format, the proposal may be considered non-compliant and eliminated from consideration.

10.4. Prices must be entered for all items of the schedule. Total amounts submitted without prices being entered on individual items will be rejected. Additions will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the Job (lump-sum) prices and the total amount, the lump-sum prices will be considered the price submitted.

10.5. Supplemental Price Breakdown. After Volume III submission and if deemed necessary to analyze cost/price elements of the price proposals further, the Government may request a price breakdown of the Contract Line Items in an Excel format. If this were to occur, the Government will provide details on where and how to send the breakdown. If requested, this information will not be needed sooner than three working days after the proposal submission due date.

10.6. Bond Ability: Submit information showing offeror's bond ability in the amount of the proposal. Include the name, address, and telephone number of the prime contractor's bonding agent. No formal bond is requested at this time.

10.7 Evaluation Criteria:

The contract will be a Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) contract. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness for the fixed priced effort. The base and all options shall be included in the price evaluation.

The RFP requires Firm-Fixed-Price contract line items. A price reasonableness approach will be utilized by the Government to determine that the proposed prices offered are fair and reasonable and that unbalanced pricing between CLINs or Options is not occurring. Price reasonableness will be determined by using proposal price analysis techniques as detailed in FAR 15.

Offerors are cautioned to distribute direct costs, such as material, labor, equipment, subcontracts, etc. and to evenly distribute indirect costs, such as job overhead, home office overhead, bond, etc., to the appropriate contract line items. If deemed necessary, the supplemental price breakdown information will be used to assist the Government in performing the price analysis described above.

Bond Ability: This item is not rated. Bonding information will be reviewed to determine the offeror's ability to obtain the required Performance and Payment Bonds. The successful offeror will be required upon award to be able to obtain the level of bonding required by the solicitation from an acceptable surety.
