Set-Aside & Limitations on Subcontracting
This Sources Sought aims to determine if a set-aside acquisition is feasible. A critical aspect is compliance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (CLASS DEVIATION 2021-O0008), which restricts subcontracting to non-similarly situated entities to no more than 50% of the contract value. Given that most Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) are large businesses, respondents must explain how they will meet this requirement. Firms unable to meet this limitation are still encouraged to express interest via email.
Submission Requirements
Interested firms must submit a capabilities package (max three pages) via email to Aldona.mcmullen@DLA.mil with the subject "SOURCES SOUGHT HAZ WASTE Hawaii". The package must include:
- Company name, office location(s), CAGE Code, and small business classification.
- Relevant experience within the last five years, including contract numbers and points of contact.
- A statement detailing the firm's ability to comply with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting, specifically addressing disposal requirements.
- A listing of proposed TSDFs, identifying if they are similarly situated.
