Statement indicating whether your company is considered small under the size standard for the NAICS code identified under this RFI. This language is going to get us a bunch of very general we can do this responses from the vendors who respond that will not be useful in completing a defensible Step 2 of the set-aside determination: i.e. are two or more vendors capable of doing the work for this procurement? To make your life easier when making the set-aside determination, we want to put a much finer point on things and be very directive regarding what experience we require interested offerors to provide, what information must be provided to support the claimed experience, and the consequences to the set-aside determination if the vendor does not provide the required information. Plus, requiring this level of detail requires some work on the part of the vendor, and will hopefully discourage those who are just looking to throw their names in the hat for every VA procurement that comes along. If we have vendors who do that here, the requirements in the redline edits below makes it much easier to toss them out of the capable pool. A capability statement that provides detailed information for one or more reference contracts that demonstrate your company s experience building out, staffing, activating, and operating a Community Based Outpatient Clinic providing Primary Care, Mental Health and Telemedicine Services similar to the services described in the attached Performance Work Statement. GENERAL STATEMENTS OF CAPABILITY ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. Respondents must provide the following information for each reference contract the respondent identifies as evidence of the respondent s capability to perform the work required by this procurement: the legal name of entity with whom the respondent held the contract; the contract number; a description providing details of the specific tasks the respondent performed under that contract; the dates during which the respondent performed the contract; the name, phone number, and email address of a person at the entity with whom the respondent held the contract who can verify the information the respondent provides regarding this reference contract. If a respondent offers to demonstrate experience through the proposed use of subcontractors, the respondent must provide all of the information required above for one or more reference contracts performed by each subcontractor the respondent intends to use AND state what tasks each subcontractor will perform for this procurement and what tasks the respondent will perform for this procurement. NOTE: The information requested above is required for the Government to determine whether there are sufficient small business concerns of a particular type who are capable of performing the work required by this procurement to determine if this procurement should be set aside for a given type of small business concern. FAILURE TO SUBMIT ALL OF THE INFORMATION REQUESTED ABOVE TO SUPPORT A RESPONDENT S CLAIMED EXPERIENCE MAY BE VIEWED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS EVIDENCE THAT THE RESPONDENT LACKS THE ABILITY TO BUILD OUT, STAFF, ACTIVATE, AND OPERATE A COMMUNITY BASED OUTPATIENT CLINIC PROVIDING THE PRIMARY CARE, MENTAL HEALTH AND TELEMEDICINE SERVICES REQUIRED BY THIS PROCUREMENT. THIS, IN TURN, MAY AFFECT THE GOVERNMENT S DETERMINATION ABOUT WHETHER THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SET-ASIDE PROCUREMENT HAVE BEEN MET. Page 6 of 6 Page 1 of 5. SDVOSB/VOSB respondents.

In addition, SDVOSB/VOSB Contractors are asked to acknowledge that they understand the limitations on sub-contracting pursuant to This FAR clause will not be in the solicitation if the procurement is set aside for SDVOSB/VOSB concerns because it only applies to Small Business set-asides.

Further SDVOSB/VOSB contractors are asked to respond that they are capable of providing the requested services keeping within the parameters of this clause. Small businesses, including SDVOSB/VOSBS are also advised that per 13 CFR, ยง125.6 the prime contractor's limitations on subcontracting for this procurement are as follows: General.
