Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document contains two forms (Form 3 and Form 6) that bidders must complete and return as part of their proposal for Solicitation 140P2126Q0125.

• Form 3: Additional Price Details: This form requires bidders to provide supplemental pricing information for contract support tasks and site activities. It includes line items for general contract administration, post-award document preparation, mobilization, temporary controls, material consolidation, waste characterization sampling, and transportation. It also lists categories for disposal fees, with units such as LS (lump sum), GAL (gallons), and EA (each), and instructs bidders to adjust categories and units to match disposal facility pricing structures. Bidders must confirm the accuracy of all formulas, as the final contract price will be a single lump sum.
• Form 6: Report on Limitations on Subcontracting: This form is required for small business set-aside service contracts over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($350,000). It requires bidders to report on their compliance with subcontracting limitations. Key sections include the prime contractor's total offered price, amounts to be paid to similarly situated and non-similarly situated subcontractors, and the calculation of participation percentages. The form references FAR 52.219-14 (DEVIATION JAN 2026), which states that for services, no more than 50% of the contract performance amount (excluding certain other direct costs) can be paid to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. It also defines 'similarly situated entity' and lists services that may be excluded from the 50% limitation.

Completing and accurately submitting both Form 3 and Form 6 is mandatory for proposal evaluation. Form 3 directly impacts the total offered price and requires careful attention to pricing details and formula accuracy. Form 6 is critical for demonstrating compliance with small business subcontracting requirements, which is a key factor for this Total Small Business Set-Aside solicitation.
