Rationale for Small Business Strategy (as required by ASN(RDA) Memorandum, Improving Communications During the Market Research Process, dated 2 June 2014): Several respondents provided information pertaining to the RFI submitted via Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) on 9 July 2014 (N1022-14-0003). (a) Competition. Based on the responses to the RFI and market research conducted, adequate competition currently exists for this requirement. (b) Small Business. Many of the respondents are small businesses. Due to the reasonable expectation of two or more small business offers, a total small business set-aside will be used in accordance with FAR 19.502-2. (c) Commercial Items/Non-Developmental Items. Commercial services and products currently exist for this requirement. The procurement of VTC hardware, integration and testing labor costs, and travel are the primary cost for this action. MSC Small Business Office concurs with the determination and approved the Small Business Coordination Record (DD Form 2579) on 24 July 2014.

(c) If the Contractor does not have an approved purchasing system, consent to subcontract is required for any subcontract that- (1) Is of the cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, or labor-hour type; or (2) Is fixed-price and exceeds- (i) For a contract awarded by the Department of Defense, the Coast Guard, or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the greater of the simplified acquisition threshold or 5 percent of the total estimated cost of the contract; or (ii) For a contract awarded by a civilian agency other than the Coast Guard and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, either the simplified acquisition threshold or 5 percent of the total estimated cost of the contract.

The explanation shall identify each critical performance element, management decisions used to quantify each incentive element, reasons for the incentives, and a summary of all trade-off possibilities considered. (2) The Contractor is not required to notify the Contracting Officer in advance of entering into any subcontract for which consent is not required under paragraph (b), (c), or (d) of this clause. (f) Unless the consent or approval specifically provides otherwise, neither consent by the Contracting Officer to any subcontract nor approval of the Contractor's purchasing system shall constitute a determination - (1) Of the acceptability of any subcontract terms or conditions; (2) Of the allowability of any cost under this contract; or (3) To relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for performing this contract. (g) No subcontract or modification thereof placed under this contract shall provide for payment on a cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost basis, and any fee payable under cost- reimbursement type subcontracts shall not exceed the fee limitations in FAR 15.404-4(c)(4)(i). (h) The Contractor shall give the Contracting Officer immediate written notice of any action or suit filed and prompt notice of any claim made against the Contractor by any subcontractor or vendor that, in the opinion of the Contractor, may result in litigation related in any way to this contract, with respect to which the Contractor may be entitled to reimbursement from the Government.
