Set-Aside & Response Guidance
This is a Sources Sought to determine the set-aside. Interested companies should reply noting their business size/status (e.g., large business, small business, HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-owned, Women-Owned Small Business). If no past performance evaluations are on file in PPIRS, contractors should provide two past performance references including contract numbers, project titles, dollar amounts, points of contact, and telephone numbers. The USCG reminds contractors of specific FAR clauses for potential HUBZone (52.219-3), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (52.219-27), and Women-Owned Small Business (52.219-30) set-asides, which require at least 50% of personnel costs to be spent on employees of the concern or other eligible small businesses.
