GSA: PJM Carbon-Pollution Free Electricity/Retail Electricity 2024

The solicitation requires the Offeror to develop and implement a comprehensive subcontracting plan that guarantees equitable opportunity for Small Business (SB), Veteran‑Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), HUBZone, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), and Women‑Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns. The plan must ensure these concerns are included on every subcontractor bidders list, design procurement packages to maximize their participation, and remove any clauses that could restrict or prohibit them. The Offeror must document the subcontract bid review board’s reasons for not selecting any low bids from these categories, maintain detailed award records, rotate potential subcontractors periodically, and provide outreach through workshops, seminars, trade fairs, and the company website. All activities must be coordinated during Federal compliance reviews and align with FAR 52.219‑9(d)(8) and agency subcontracting goals, with explanations required for any goal percentages that fall below agency targets or for any zero‑goal designations. In addition, the Offeror must conduct ongoing market research to identify qualified SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB, and WOSB sources, using tools such as SAM, DSBS, and relevant trade associations, and record outreach efforts to trade associations, business development organizations, conferences, and veterans’ service groups. The plan must specify estimated dollar amounts and percentages for each socio‑economic category, apply stretch goals, and retain records for all subcontract solicitations exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, including justification when a small business concern is not solicited or awarded.
