This is not a request for proposal. Because this contract could eventually result in an award over $500,000.00, a subcontracting plan will be required by large business concerns. The small disadvantaged business set-aside goal in that subcontracting plan shall not be less than 5% of the subcontracted work. This set-aside goal of not less than 5% also applies to women-owned small business concerns. This does not apply if the prime firm is a small business concern. Effective 1 October 1997, A/E contractors are now required to register their firms in the Central Contractor Registration database prior to receiving a contract award. This data base provides basic business information, capabilities, and financial information to the Government and complies with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, which requires Federal agencies to have the Taxpayer Identification Number of every contractor and to pay every contractor through electronic funds transfer. A/E contractors will only have to provide this information once with annual updates or as key company information changes occur. Registration can be accomplished through the World Wide Web at http//www.acq.mil/ec; through any DOD Certified Value Added Network; or a paper may be obtained by calling the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414.
