WHO MAY RESPOND: Interest in this Sources Sought announcement is open to both large and small business prime contractors, relative to the primary NAICS code 561621, that are located in Small Business Administration Region 10 (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska). Following review of the responses to this notice, and if the Government still plans to proceed with the acquisition, the Government will develop an acquisition strategy to determine whether the solicitation for this project will be issued as a set aside for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB or Small Business Concerns OR if the solicitation will be issued as Unrestricted to both large and small business concerns. Note to Small Businesses: Small businesses may team together (or even affiliate) and be eligible for award of a set-aside contract, provided that each team member meets the small business size standard for the acquisition and are deemed capable. The current Small Business Administrative (SBA) rules allow a set-aside when there is a reasonable expectation of at least two or more competitive offers from small business teams when at least 50% of the effort will be performed by the collective efforts of all small business members of the team. The current SBA 8(a) affiliation rules allow joint ventures or teams when the 8(a) concern performs a "significant amount" of the work with its own employees and the size of at least one 8(a) participant to the joint venture is less than one half the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the contract. Such teams and/or joint ventures require the prior approval of the SBA. A Service-Disabled Veteran Owned-Small Business (SDVOSB) prime contractor can subcontract part of a SDVOSB contract provided they spend at least 50% of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel on the concern's employees or on the employees of other SDVOSBs. A joint venture of at least one SDVOSB and one or more other business concerns may submit an offer as a small business for a competitive SDVOSB procurement so long as each concern is small under the NAICS code size standard assigned to the contract. A qualified Historically Underutilized Business (HUBZone) prime contractor can subcontract part of a HUBZone contract provided they spend at least 50% of the cost of the contract performance incurred for personnel on the concern's employees or on the employees of other qualified HUBZone small business concerns. A joint venture of two or more qualified HUBZone small business concerns may submit an offer for a HUBZone contract so long as each concern is small under the NAICS code size standard assigned to the contract.
