Question: I am cleared to the appropriate level and we have the appropriate DoD Facilities Clearance, however neither I nor anyone in our company has a courier badge. Will a courier authorization letter from our Security Officer suffice? If so, what would you need to see in the letter? Answer: Yes. A one time courier authorization letter will be acceptable to pick up the solicitation package. The letter must be on company letterhead and state the name of the courier, the classification level to which the courier may carry, and that the courier has been briefed on courier responsibilities. The courier authorization letter must be signed by the company's Security Officer. It is suggested to send a copy of the courier letter to contact@example.gov for approval by a Government Security Officer. Question: [W]hat is meant by a small business sub-contracting plan? Since the size standard is $7.0 million, wouldn't the "Prime" be a small business? Are you suggesting by a the term "small business sub-contracting plan" adding more small businesses or bringing large businesses onto a team? Answer: A small business sub-contracting plan is needed for the proposal submission for businesses classified as an other than small business, not the eligibility statement submission. This requirement is full and open completion, not a small business set-aside.
