5. This requirement is set aside 100% for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), therefore only SDVOSBs verified in the VA s Vendor Information Pages (VIP) site at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/, at the time of proposal submission will be considered for award.
6. Limitations on Subcontracting. Subcontracting limitations will be measured in terms of the amount spent in subcontracts. Subcontracts with similarly situated SDVOSBs will be excluded from the calculation. These changes were finalized by the Small Business Administration (SBA) effective 6/30/2016 (see SBA s Small Business Government Contracting and National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 Amendments, Federal Register of 5/31/2016). The changes resulting from the SBA published regulations have not yet been incorporated in the FAR. Until such time as the FAR is updated with these new requirements, the SBA published regulations govern. Consequently, the July 25, 2016 VA Acquisition Regulation Class Deviation (issued via PPM 2016-05) specifically states in Attachment 10, VAAR clause 852.219-10 and 852.219-11, that Contractors shall comply with the SBA regulations at 13 CFR 125.6.
7. Post-Award Teleconference. The awarded Contractor(s) shall participate in a post-award orientation teleconference to review the on-boarding process for candidates and other post-award management procedures..
