NATIONAL OPERATIONAL/MAILING SUPPLIES

The solicitation requires the offeror to establish and justify separate dollar‑percentage subcontracting goals for small business, HUBZone, small‑disadvantaged, women‑owned, veteran‑owned, and service‑disabled veteran‑owned concerns, and to describe the method and source lists used to develop those goals in accordance with FAR 19.704(a)(5). The contractor must detail how each goal was determined, provide justification for any low goals, and outline outreach efforts that will give the listed small‑business categories an equitable opportunity to compete. For every subcontract over $100,000 the contractor must document whether each small‑business category was solicited and, if not, explain why, as well as record reasons why solicited firms did not receive the award. The acquisition is a small‑business/HUBZone/SDVOSB/WOSB set‑aside and is a DPAS‑rated order (15 CFR 700). Goals must be renegotiated for each option period, with a master subcontracting plan approved at least once every three years and incorporated into the contract for its life. The contract incorporates FAR 52.212‑1, ‑3, ‑4, and ‑5 (with addenda available on request) and requires testing and acceptance of all listed items at the vendor’s expense. All questions are to be directed to the listed VA contacts.
