INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

(VBE) PARTICIPATION SUBMITTAL AND VBE UTILIZATION SCHEDULE.

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING THESE DOCUMENTS

Bidders/Offerors do not need to return VBE-1 with their VBE Participation Submittal

The following instructions include details for completing the VBE Participation Submittal

(VBE-2) which Bidders or Offerors must submit in order to be considered responsive.

The following instructions also include details for completing the VBE Utilization Schedule

(VBE-3), which Bidders or Offerors must submit for any portion of the VBE participation

goal the Bidder or Offeror commits to meeting.

A Bidder/Offeror’s failure to meet the VBE participation goal in full or their failure to

receive an approved Good Faith Efforts waiver for any unmet portion of the VBE

participation goal will result in the rejection of the Bid or Proposal as nonresponsive.

I. VBE Participation Goal: The VBE participation goal is set forth in the eMarketplace

advertisement and also in the Notice to Bidders. The Bidder/Offeror is encouraged to use a

diverse group of subcontractors and suppliers to meet the VBE participation goal.

II. VBE Eligibility:

1. Finding VBE firms: Offerors can access the directory of DGS-verified VBE firms from

the DGS Supplier Search directory at: http://www.dgs.internet.state.pa.us/suppliersearch.

2. Only VBEs verified by DGS and as defined herein may be counted for purposes of

achieving the VBE participation goal. In order to be counted for purposes of achieving

the VBE participation goal, the VBE firm, including a VBE prime, must be DGS-verified

for the services, materials or supplies that it has committed to perform on the VBE

Utilization Schedule (VBE-3). A firm whose VBE verification is pending or incomplete

as of the bid or proposal due date and time shall not be counted towards the VBE

participation goal. Offerors cannot use self-certified SBs that do not have their VBE

verification as of the bid or proposal due date and time to meet the VBE participation

goal.

4. Dually verified SDB/VBE firms. If a DGS-verified SDB is dually verified as a VBE, the firm

will receive credit towards both the SDB participation goal and the VBE participation goal as set

forth on the SDB and VBE Participation Summary Sheet. This credit may exceed the

participation goal percentage, as shown in the example below.

Example: The SDB participation goal is 10% and the VBE participation goal is 5%. A subcontractor is

DGS-verified as both an SDB and a VBE and will perform 10% of the contract work. The bidder/offeror

can satisfy both the SDB participation goal and the VBE participation goal through that dually verified

subcontractor’s performance of 10% of the contract work, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in

writing and approved by BDISBO and the Issuing Office. Based on this example, the percentage

commitment indicated on SDB-3 for SDB work on this contract would be 10%, and the VBE percentage

commitment indicated on VBE-3 on this contract would be 10% as well. These contractual commitments

meet the SDB participation goal of 10% and exceed the 5% VBE participation goal for this contract.

Please note that the dually verified SDB/VBE firm only receives 10% of the contract work based on the

example above.

Importantly, consideration of SDB and VBE submittals will still be independent of one another

even when utilizing one or more dually verified firms.

5. Participation by VBE firms as bidders/offerors or subcontractors. A Bidder/Offeror that qualifies

as a VBE and submits a bid or proposal as a bidder/offeror is not prohibited from being included

as a subcontractor in separate proposals submitted by other Bidders/Offerors. A VBE may be

included as a subcontractor with as many bidders/offerors as it chooses in separate bids or

proposals and a bidder/offeror may not prohibit a VBE from committing to any other bidder/

offeror.

6. Questions about VBE verification. Questions regarding the VBE program, including questions

about the self-certification and verification processes can be directed to:

Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO)

North Office Building, Room 611, Harrisburg, PA 17125

Email: RA-BDISBOVerification@pa.gov

Website: www.dgs.pa.gov

III. Guidelines Regarding SDB Prime Self-Performance.

1. A VBE firm participating as a prime bidder or offeror on a procurement may receive credit

towards the VBE Participation goal established for the procurement through their own self-

performance.

Example: A solicitation has a 15% VBE participation goal. A VBE prime offeror self-performing

contract work valued at only 10% of contract costs (if permitted by the solicitation documents) must

still satisfy the remaining 5% VBE participation goal through subcontracting or must request a

Good Faith Efforts Waiver for the unmet VBE participation goal. Failure to satisfy the remaining

5% VBE participation goal or failure to obtain a Good Faith Efforts waiver for the unmet portion of

the VBE participation goal will result in rejection of that VBE prime’s bid or proposal as

nonresponsive.

2. For a VBE prime bidder or offeror to receive credit for self-performance, the VBE prime

bidder or offeror must list itself in the VBE Utilization Schedule (VBE-3).

3. The VBE prime bidder or offeror must also include the classification category (Veteran-

Owned Small Business or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) under

which it is self-performing and include information regarding the work it will self-

perform. For any portion of the VBE participation goal not met through the VBE prime

bidder or offeror’s self-performance, the VBE bidder or offeror must also identify on the

VBE Utilization Schedule (VBE-3) the other VBE subcontractors, manufacturers, or

suppliers it will use to meet the unmet portion of the goal or must request and receive a

Good Faith Efforts waiver.

IV. Calculating VBE participation

1. VBE subcontractors. A VBE subcontractor, through its own employees, shall perform at

least 50% of the amount of the subcontract. 100% of the total subcontract amount shall

be counted towards the VBE participation goal, unless the VBE subcontractor is

performing one of the functions listed in paragraphs 2-4 below.

2. VBE manufacturers. A VBE manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or

establishment that produces, on the premises, the materials, supplies, articles or equipment

required under the contract and of the general character described by the specifications.

100% of the total cost of the materials or supplies purchased from the VBE manufacturer

shall be counted towards the VBE participation goal.

3. VBE stocking suppliers. A VBE stocking supplier is a firm that owns, operates or

maintains a store, warehouse or other establishment in which the materials, supplies,

articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required

under the contract are bought, kept in stock and regularly sold or leased to the public in

the usual course of business. 60% of the total cost of the materials or supplies purchased

from the VBE stocking supplier shall be counted towards the VBE participation goal.

Example for illustrative purposes of applying the 60% rule:

Overall contract value: $2,000,000

Total value of supplies: $100,000

Apply 60% Rule: $100,000 x 60% = $60,000

Divide 60% Rule result by contract value: $60,000/$2,000,000 = 3%

In this example, 3% would be counted towards the VBE participation goal for the VBE supplier.

4. VBE nonstocking suppliers. A VBE nonstocking supplier does not carry inventory but

orders materials from a manufacturer, manufacturer’s representative or a stocking

supplier. For a nonstocking supplier to receive credit, the nonstocking supplier shall

perform a useful business function by engaging in meaningful work (that is, negotiating

price; determining quality and quantity; ordering materials; and paying for the materials).

Industry practices and other relevant factors will be considered. Only the amount of the

fee or commission charged by the VBE nonstocking supplier for assistance in the

procurement of the materials and supplies shall be counted towards the VBE participation

goal. The fees or commissions must also be reasonable and not excessive as compared

with fees customarily allowed for similar services.
