Social Impact The Shared Services Initiative fully supports the DOC s goals for small business and potential hiring sources. As a part of their proposal, Vendors will be required to submit a Small Business Subcontract and Partnership Participation Plan that outlines the Contractor s approach to both partnering with and subcontracting to other small and large businesses. The Small Business Subcontract and Partnership Participation Plan will govern at the BPA level, as opposed to the Call Order level, and the Contractor will identify which functions/performance areas within the BPA scope it forecasts itself capable of performing and which will be performed by subcontractors along with expected percentage of the work each will perform. For BPA Call #001, issued along with the BPA, the Government is requiring a Subcontracting Plan from the Contractor with an anticipated small business subcontracting goal of 25% across all issued calls. Vendors are also asked to describe their outreach efforts to potential hiring sources such as veterans, military spouses, and other under-employed segments of our population. 24
