Small Business Subcontracting Plan

 

 

This Subcontracting Plan for Small Business Concerns is submitted in response to Solicitation No. HSCG23-05-R-ARB001, Phase II Response Boat - Medium (RB-M) and to satisfy the requirement of FAR 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan, incorporated by Section I.

 

MMC’s Small Business Plan identifies our major subcontractor, Kvichak Marine Industries (KMI) of Seattle, Washington, a small business, in the performance of the Phase II RB-M Program.  MMC is mentoring this small business.  If awarded the contract, MMC and KMI will be issuing competitive solicitations for materials that can be acquired from small business suppliers.  MMC expects to qualify additional more small businesses during contract implementation.  We will continue to examine all other procurements especially the historical data from the GLIB Contract and will implement a plan that provides maximum practical opportunities for small businesses to participate as subcontractors in the performance of the RB-M contract. With small businesses participating in major areas, such KMI, it is evident that small business will have a significant impact on the RB-M’s  design and construction. 

 

MMC believes that the best possibilities for utilizing small, disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concerns and women-owned business concerns are for the purchase of habitability modules, doors, hatches, windows, aluminum, equipment covers, wiper and washer systems, fire suppression systems, seating, sea strainers, HVAC systems, miscellaneous electrical and hardware and main propulsion engines.

 

MMC’s Small Business Plan identifies the following potential utilization:  American Marine Contractors, a small disadvantaged veteran owned business, for the HVAC Systems;   The crew safety equipment from Lifesavings Systems, Corp. which is a veteran-owned business.  MMC plans to purchase the wiper and washer system from Intra Marine, which is a small business.  We anticipate the purchase of the Prefab Habitability Modules from Maritime Services, a HUBZone small business.  MMC expects to use PETKAL for mist eliminators, Straight Stitch for covers and Military Systems Group, Inc. for gun mounts; all of which are women owned small businesses.  In addition, MMC plans to use Alaskan Copper & Brass Company, a small business, for aluminum and Alexander Gow Fire Equipment Company, which is also a small business, for Fire Suppression Systems.  MMC intends to utilize Freeman Marine, a small business, for hatches as well as for doors and windows. Miscellaneous electrical items will be purchased from Superior Marine and Beck Electric and miscellaneous stainless steel fittings will be purchased from ALACO, all of which are small business. Inland Detroit Diesel, a small business, has been identified as the main engines supplier.

 

 

 

Subcontract Dollar Value

 

The estimated cost of the direct material and subcontract effort (total material) for RB-M is approximately $270,978,220. This includes the subcontract we will have with KMI which is approximately $118,000,000 or 25% of the total contract value.  Our subcontracting goal is to place an additional $58,800,000 or 38% of the direct material and subcontract orders with other small business concerns.  Of this effort $765,000 or 0.5% will be placed with small disadvantaged business concerns; $2,300,000 or 1.5% will be placed with veteran-owned small business; $1,500,000 or 1% will be placed with women-owned small business concerns and $3,060,000 or 2% will be placed with HUBZone small businesses.  MMC presently sees no opportunity for subcontracting to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions. Should any opportunity arise during performance of this Contract MMC will make every reasonable effort to afford Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions the opportunity to participate in the Contract.

Methodology

 

MMC has evaluated all the materials and services that would need to be acquired and the subcontractors that would be utilized if awarded the Contract.  MMC used its historical data as well as the small business procurement organizations that are identified herein to identify new potential small businesses when determining our subcontracting objectives.  After assessing the potential vendors and the available vendor pool the aforementioned percentages were developed as our goal.

 

Historical Data

 

MMC was awarded the Great Lakes Icebreaker (GLIB) Contract in October 2001.  The GLIB was MMC’s first Contract subject to Small Business reporting.  MMC’s original goal for utilization of small business concerns on the GLIB Contract was 25%.   The reporting periods for 2003, 2004 and 2005 have shown that our actual Small Business Utilization has exceeded our original goal.  To date we increased our overall Small Business Utilization by 12.5%.  We identified and utilized additional Women-Owned,  HUBZone and Small Disadvantaged Veteran Owned Businesses on the Contract.

 

 

 

 

Indirect and Overhead Costs

 

No indirect or overhead costs are included in the subcontracting goals set forth herein, however, these costs will be recorded and reported in the quarterly report to the Department of Defense, the Small Business Administration, and the Cognizant Administrative Contracting Officer with regard to our overall small, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concerns and women-owned small business concerns.

 

Method of Solicitation

 

(1)               Small, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concerns and women-owned small business concerns will be solicited from a qualified vendor's list compiled from various sources, such as New York - New Jersey Minority Purchasing Council located at 9 West 57th Street, New York NY and "Try Us" a publication provided by the National Minority Business Campaign located at 1202 12th Avenue, North Minneapolis MN 55411. In addition, MMC will utilize the source identification system provided by the Small Business Administration's Procurement Automated Source System, the National Minority Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service, the services provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency's Research and Information Division, and the facilities of small, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concerns and women-owned small business trade associations.

 

(2)               MMC’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be administered by, Ms. Lori Okrasinski, MMC’s Purchasing Manager.  Ms Okrasinski has supervisory authority over all administrative functions pertaining to purchasing at MMC, to include supervision of the individuals that have the responsibility for procurement of supplies and services. Ms. Okrasinski's knowledge of the purchasing functions at MMC enables her to control the effectiveness of MMC's subcontracting plans and to take corrective action if required. Ms. Okrasinski's is also the small, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concern and women-owned small business Liaison Officer responsible for the implementation of the requirements of Public Law 95-507 as it relates to MMC.

.

(3)               MMC will assure that small, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concerns and women-owned small business concerns have an equitable opportunity to bid by providing adequate time to prepare the bid, by offering assistance in bid preparation, and by offering prompt progress payments where permissible.

 

(4)               MMC will include the Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.219-8 entitled  "Utilization of Small Business Concerns” in all subcontracts that offer further subcontracting opportunities in the United States and will require all subcontractors (except Small Business concerns) who receive subcontracts in excess of $500,000 to adopt a plan in consonance with the clause.

 

(5)               MMC will cooperate in any studies or surveys, and submit such reports, including but not limited to SF294 and SF295, as may be required by the contracting agency of the Small Business Administration in order to determine the extent of MMC’s compliance with the subcontracting plan and ensure that subcontractors that are required to do so do the same.

 

(6)               MMC will maintain records that identify vendors with which we do business. Each vendor will be classified as either a large, small, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business concerns and women-owned small business concerns. The classification will be obtained from vendor certifications. These records are in addition to the Minority Vendors source lists identified below. MMC will report quarterly to the Secretary of Defense, the Pentagon, Washington DC 20301, and provides copies to the Cognizant Contracting Officer, and the Small Business Administration, 35 Pinelawn Road, Melville NY 11747.
