This proposed procurement is a 100% small business set- aside under SIC Code 8711, Size Standard $20.0M. Only companies, including their affiliates, with average annual receipts of $20,000,000.00 or less during the last three (3) completed fiscal years are considered small. See Numbered Note 1.

Mr. Stephen J. Plaisted has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. Existence of an Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the Program Director or the Contracting Officer. Accordingly, the Ombudsman does not participate in the preparation of solicitations, the evaluation of proposals, or the source selection process; and, therefore, for routine matters on individual solicitations, contact the contract specialist. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, he can be reached at 937-255-9095, ext. 232. The Department of Defense (DOD) has determined the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) to be the Single DOD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the Department. Defense procurement and finance policies require contractors to be registered by 31 May 1998 for consideration in future solicitations, awards, and payment. DOD contracting officers worldwide will use CCR to identify sources and financial officers will use it to make payments. To register in CCR, you may use one of the following methods: (a) Mail a completed application to: Department of Defense, ATTN: Central Contractor Registration Assistance Center, P.O. Box 5547, Depere, WI 54115-5547. (b) Input directly to CCR through the interactive World Wide Web application at http://www.acq.osd.mil/ec/. If you need additional contractor registration information or if you are interested in doing electronic commerce with DOD, please call 1-800-334-3414 or send electronic mail to: dodedi@acq.osd.mil. Contractors must be registered in CCR prior to award for solicitations issued after 31 May 1998. Telephone: 1-888-CCR-2423. Fax: 1-703-696-0213. "
