2. Exhibit G – Proposal Inquiry – Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC On page 19 of the solicitation it indicates that formal teaming arrangements can be utilized on this project. My estimator indicated to me that this was something that still had not been decided based on the Pre-proposal conference. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I was also wondering if there is a size standard for the company you are teaming with. Do they need to be a small company to be a member of this teaming arrangement. Would it be ok for the small company to be the lead on the teaming agreement with a large company. Please advise.

Answer: The FY12 Basic MATOC Solicitation has been set-aside for total small business. The size for total small business is $33.5M. The Kansas Army National Guard does not participate in a mentor-protégé program. A small business can submit their own proposal for the FY12 Basic MATOC solicitation without using the mentor-protégé program.
