Small Business Participation Sample Clauses

Small Business Participation. Other than Small (OTS) Business Contractors shall adhere to small business subcontracting plans.

Small Business Participation. Upon receipt of RES-Quotes, the ordering activity will review the small business status of each participating vendor submission. Large business submitted RES-Quotes will not be considered initially if any RES-Quotes are received from small businesses. If, after the following evaluation activities are completed, no small business RES-Quote can be determined acceptable, the ordering activity will repeat the evaluation process described below with RES-Quotes submitted by Large businesses. This process eliminates the need to resolicit RES requirements in emergency situations while also providing maximum opportunity to small business participants. Price evaluation: Each RES-Quote will be evaluated on a total price basis using the “lowest priced, technically acceptable” methodology unless specifically addressed differently in an individual RES. If an authorized user includes an evaluation methodology that is different than the one described below, participating vendors are required to comply with any instructions in that RES for submission and evaluation of RES-Quotes. RES-Quotes will be ranked according to total price as described in Block 26, with the lowest priced RES-Quote reviewed for technical acceptability first. If acceptable, an order will be placed with the participating vendor submitting that lowest priced, technically acceptable quote. If GSA is serving as the authorized user on behalf of FEMA or other federal executive agency, the GSA contracting officer will transmit the lowest priced RES-Quote to the POC identified by FEMA or other agency for technical review. Any issues arising from the order and delivery of non-conforming supplies or services in an instance where a POC performs a technical acceptability determination will be the sole responsibility of the agency where the POC resides. If the lowest priced RES-Quote is determined to be technically unacceptable, the next lowest priced RES-Quote will be sent for review until a technically acceptable RES-Quote is identified or all quotes are determined unacceptable. In the event all RES-Quotes are determined unacceptable, the authorized user is permitted to contact one, some, or all of the participating vendors submitting RES-Quotes to provide guidance on revising a RES-Quote and re-submitting it for review. The evaluation process will begin again with the one, some, or all revised RES-Quotes until a technically acceptable RES-Quote receives an order, or the RES is cancelled. Notice of Order Placeme...
