What does this mean to you?
The program provides evaluation credits for prime contractors who achieve SDB subcontracting targets. The program is intended to help federal agencies achieve the government-wide goal of 5 percent SDB participation in prime contracting.
The price evaluation credits are authorized in those two-digit industry categories, or SIC Codes, where the US Department of Commerce has determined that SDBs are underrepresented because of the effects of ongoing discrimination.
SDBs are eligible to receive the credit when competing in the following industry categories: Agriculture, Fishing, Forestry, Construction, Mining, Manufacturing, Transportation, Communications.
The services included are: Electric, Gas, Sanitary services, Wholesale trade, Retail trade, Finance, Insurance, Real estate services.
In addition, negotiated contracts where SDB participation is an evaluation factor can provide monetary incentives for prime contractors that meet specified targets for SDB subcontracting in the SIC major groups.
