Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the entire scope of this effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. The clause reads, in part, as follows: "Limitations on Subcontracting (Nov 2011)... (c) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for - (1) Services (except construction). At least 50 percent of the cost of contract Performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern... ". Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. Part II. Capability Survey Questions •1. Describe briefly the capabilities of you or your organization and the nature of the services you provide. Include a description of your background and/or your staff composition to include advanced academic degrees. Please also include professional experience of your staff. The focus of this capability is to determine if your organization has a deep understanding of the operation of the defense industry. •2. Describe your company's past experience on previous projects similar in complexity to this requirement. This should be focused on previous experience both designing training and providing instruction. In this case, training includes how to operate, configure, and troubleshoot, the systems with reading material, exercises, handouts or any other materials for use by instructors or students. •3. Are there other capabilities you can provide that would be of use in meeting the requirement? If your company is interested, e-mail your responses to Isaiah.Steward@us.af.mil. E-mail responses should be received no later than 12:00pm EST, Friday 10 February 2017. Direct and succinct responses are preferred. Marketing materials are considered an insufficient response.
