effort, if you are a small business interested in priming this effort and plan to utilize “similarly situated

entities” to meet the Limitations on Subcontracting, please identify the name & CAGE Code of the

specific firm(s) you intend to partner/subcontract with to meet the requirements as well as their SB size

status under the NAICS that you as the prime would assign for their workshare. Information regarding

any planned similarly situated entity should be included in answering any questions outlined in the

Sources Sought Notice in order to assist the Government’s capability determination.

Interested parties shall submit a document outlining their capabilities in meeting the requirements in the

attached Draft Statement of Work as well as the special requirements as outline in paragraph 4.0 of this

explanation of your company’s ability to perform at least 50% of the tasking described in this SOW.

Similarly situated small businesses may team together to meet the 50% requirement. If your company is

planning to team with a similarly situated small business, the response must clearly identify the proposed

member will be responsible for. The response must be detailed enough for the Government to make a

determination whether or not the proposed team will be able to perform 50% of the work when combined.
