The Department of General Services Capital Programs and the Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO) identified this procurement as eligible for the setting of Small Diverse Business (SDB) and/or Veteran Business Enterprise (VBE) participation goals. However, BDISBO did not set SDB and/or VBE participation goals for those procurements that are less than the $600,000 threshold required to set either goal. In addition, there will be no points allocated toward SDB/SB participation for this procurement. This is a significant programmatic change from the SDB and SB Participation program contained in prior Projects issued by Capital Programs. Bidders now must agree to meet the SDB and VBE Participation Goals in full or demonstrate that they have made Good Faith Efforts to meet the Goals. Refer to the Instructions to Bidders section regarding Small Diverse Business and Veteran Business Enterprise Participation for further information.
The Goals for each Prime Contract is as follows: SDB AND VBE GOALS
.1 General Construction – ALL BASE BIDS (#1, #2, #3 & #4) SDB = NA VBE = NA
.2 HVAC Construction – ALL BASE BIDS (#1, #2, #3 & #4) SDB = NA VBE = NA
.3 Plumbing Construction – ALL BASE BIDS (#1, #2, #3 & #4) SDB = NA VBE = NA
