If you are submitting as a mentor-protégé joint venture under the 8(a) program, you must provide SBA approval of the mentor-protégé agreement to be considered as small for this procurement. For more information on the definitions or requirements for these small business programs refer to http://www.sba.gov/.

For each of the submitted relevant projects (a maximum of five (5) projects), ensure that the form is completed in its entirety for each project and limited to two pages per project. Ensure that the description of the project clearly identifies whether the project is new construction or a renovation, and if the square footage and final construction cost addresses how the project meets the size/scope/complexity requirements.

A relevant project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project and will not be considered; rather, Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

A relevant project is further defined as:

Specify if these task orders were issued under a single contract or multiple contracts.

Note: Capability will only be satisfied on projects that are considered relevant in terms of size/scope/complexity and completed within the specified time period.

For purposes of evaluating capability, the “Offeror” is defined as the prime contractor that demonstrates experience on relevant projects that meet size, scope and complexity.

In accordance with 13 CFR 125.2(g), small business Offerors may utilize the experience of a small business first-tier subcontractor(s) to demonstrate experience under this capability evaluation if the Offeror cannot independently satisfy the experience requirement as defined above. In order to utilize the experience of a small business first-tier subcontractor(s), the offeror must specifically identify the proposed small business first-tier contractor(s) in its capability package in accordance with this notice. The Offeror or, if a small business Offeror, its small business first-tier subcontractor, shall have been the prime contractor on all submitted projects. The Government notes that 13 CFR 125.2(g) is specific to only small business Offerors and named small business first-tier subcontractors. As such, the small business Offeror is not permitted to use the experience of a large business subcontractor or large business corporate affiliate in place of its own if the small business Offeror cannot independently satisfy the experience requirement as defined above.
