Although Small Business Teaming Arrangements may submit a proposal, only projects from the Prime of that arrangement will be accepted. Projects from the members of a Small Business Teaming Arrangement will not be accepted. 3) 40% of projects verified must have been performed by the Prot�g� in an SBA MPP. 4) The second draft RFP further defines Project Relevancy/Recency requirements and �Offeror�, �Proposal�, and �Contract� (Ref.
