- Description
- 1.Under the Synopsis of the solicitation it states that this acquisition is a "Total Small Business Set Aside". We are not sure what this means for this acquisition and wondering if you could explain this a bit? Does the entire work effort have to be completed by a small business under the size of 7.0 million? If not, is there a set amount/percentage of the work that must be performed by the "Total Small Business firm"? A minimum percentage that must be completed by small business entities does not seem to be listed, so we are not sure if 100% has to be completed by the small business or there was no minimum. RESPONSE: The Government is required to reserve a fair portion of its purchases and contracts for small business concerns and does this by reserving or "setting aside," entire procurements or parts of procurements for small businesses. It means that only small businesses may compete for the contract ("total small business set-aside") or the reserved portion ("partial small business set-aside"). The Notice of total small business set-aside for this acquisition applies to all items in this sources sought notice. In accordance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting (Nov 2011), "by submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract for "Services", at least 50% of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern." 2.I understand that the prime consultant submitting on this project needs to be registered in SAM, but do the sub-consultants also need to be registered in SAM? RESPONSE: No, only prime vendors/contractors are required to be registered in SAM. 3.I see this is a Total Small Business Set Aside. As a SDVOSB, do we qualify as a Total Small Business? (Our revenue is below the $7M) RESPONSE: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms are small businesses if revenue is less than size standard posted in our Sources Sought Notice. 4.As I read the Selection Criteria I understood it to include only Section H. of the SF 330. Is that correct? Or are we to include Sections A-G as well? RESPONSE: All Sections of the SF330 should be completed in accordance with our SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS, which state "Interested firms having the capabilities to perform this work must submit two (2) hard copies of Standard Form 330 (SF 330) and one (1) CD copy of Parts I and II no later than 3:00 PM, EST on August 15, 2013."
