ATTACHMENT 16 Small Business Participation Proposal

Offerors should use the following format or substantially the same as that contained in this Attachment.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Address in detail paragraphs A-F below in detail in the SBPP, inserting additional lines in tables as needed or including, as an attachment, information substantially the same as required. –

(A) Check the applicable size and category(ies) for the PRIME offeror only – Large Prime Historically Black Colleges or Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI)

OR

Small Business Prime; also categorized as a-- (check all applicable) Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Business Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) (SDVOSB is a subset of VOSB)

(B) Submit the total combined percentage to be performed by both large and small businesses (to include the percentage of work to be performed by both Prime & Subcontractors). This is the “total value of the acquisition” – percentage of small (to include self- performance if a small prime) + percentage of large must = 100% of the $175M base period assumption. Also indicate the amount of Prime offeror self-performance, whether large or small business Example 1: If the Prime offeror proposes a price of $1,000,000 (including options), and a small business will provide $250,000 as either a prime or a subcontractor, the % planned for small business is 25% ($250,000 / $1,000,000); 75% would be performed by large, equaling 100%.

Example 2: If the prime offeror proposes a price of $1,000,000 (including options) and, as a small business, will perform $100,000 itself, with additional subcontracting to other small business categories in the amount of $250,000, the total for small business is $350,000, or 35% small business participation (small prime + small subs); 65% would be performed by large, equaling 100%. The small prime contractor’s portion is included with the small business total participation percentage.

((a) X $175M)

((c) x $175M)

((e) x $175M)

*Note: (c) + (e) should equal 100% and (d) + (f) should equal $175M

(C) For each small business who will participate in the performance of the contract, please indicate the total percentage of participation to be performed and indicate the small business subcategory (SDB, WOSB, HUBzone, VOSB, SDVOSB, HBCU/MI) which applies. The percentage of work performed by a small business that qualifies in multiple categories must be counted in each eligible category. This includes small business performing as the Prime offeror. The totals of these entries will not equal the total small business percentage entered in (B) above – do NOT add them together. No category may be greater than the total small business percentage.

The Offeror proposes the following percentage of participation for each socio-economic category: (Enter percentages proposed in the columns below. See Example below table for more information.

Example: To arrive at the percentage for each sub-category, the matrix approach is helpful. Add up each column; the total is the percentage to be entered in the table above under the individual subcategory. Add each subcategory separately. See sample table below:

If a small business is both a WOSB, a VOSB, and a SDVOSB, and will perform

2% of the effort, the percentage for that company is entered in each column.

VOSB

(MJ Enterprises) (Prime Offeror)

10%

Enter totals at bottom of columns into corresponding blanks in table above.

Totals to be entered above

*SDVOSB is a SUBSET of VOSB. VOSB is not automatically SDVOSB.

VOSB percentage will always be greater than or equal to SDVOSB. SDVOSB small business would count in both categories, but VOSB would only count in its own category.

(D) List principle supplies/services to be performed by all Small Businesses, to include Prime Offeror, if small: Offeror may include table as a separate attachment, add rows to accommodate all of the data, or use its own format provided the same information below is presented for evaluation. Indicate specific company names if they have been identified or commitments have been made.

“The Offeror has identified the following SMALL business firms and type of work to be performed for this contract as well as the socio-economic category for each firm”: (Enter company information in the table below, adding rows where needed) (“Service” also includes construction) Please indicate size category by placing an “X” in each applicable column.

(E) List principle supplies/services to be performed by all Large Businesses, to include Prime Offeror, if Large. See example below. Offeror may include table as a separate attachment or use its own format provided the same information is presented for evaluation.

Example:

(F) Describe the extent of commitment to use small businesses for this specific acquisition. Include details regarding:

*Note: an enforceable commitment is defined as an executed, written promise/agreement from the prime offeror to a potential subcontractor (that is signed by both parties) stipulating that if contract award is received, the subcontractor will receive a subcontract. Other documents such as consummated master subcontracting agreements, or other similar document promising participation or teaming are acceptable as well. This does NOT include letters from subcontractors promising to support the prime contractor “if and when” called upon. These one-way letters are merely evidence of the Prime Offeror assembling resources to perform the contract and will not be evaluated as enforceable commitments.
