NOAA will next develop and execute
a five-year Arctic Action Plan to achieve
these goals. Development and execution
of the plan will require coordination
across all NOAA Line and Staff Offices
and collaboration with local, regional,
federal, nongovernmental, and academic
partners. As a starting point, NOAA will
establish a single point of contact within
NOAA Senior Executive Leadership

current involvement in research and
management programs in the Arctic,
and anticipates an initial investment of
$10 million towards the implementation
of this strategy, recognizing that
additional funds will be needed to
achieve the goals.
II. Request for Comments
NOAA invites comments on its: (a)
vision for the Arctic; and (b) six
strategic goals and five-year strategies

THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE APPLIES
ONLY TO PARTIAL SMALL BUSINESS
SET-ASIDE LINE ITEMS THAT MAY
BE CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
I237.06 NOTICE OF PARTIAL SMALL
BUSINESS SET–ASIDE (DEVIATION)
(DESC)
(a) DEFINITION. Small business concern,
as used in this clause, means a concern,
including its affiliates that is independently
owned and operated, not dominant in the
field of operation in which it is bidding on
Government contracts, and qualified as a
small business under the size standards in
this solicitation.
(b) GENERAL.
(1) A portion of certain items of this
procurement, as listed in the Schedule, has
been set aside for award to eligible small
businesses. The quantities indicated for such
items in the Schedule include the set-aside
portion. All offerors are urged to offer the
maximum quantities they desire and are
capable of delivering. Small business
concerns interested in receiving a set-aside
contract should submit an offer in the same
manner as though there were no set-aside.
Volumes offered by qualified small business
concerns will be evaluated for the non-setaside and set-aside portions of the
procurement. Separate offers should not be
submitted on the non-set-aside and set-aside
portions.
(2) The partial small business set-aside of
the procurement is based on a determination
by the Contracting Officer that it is in the
interest of maintaining or mobilizing the
nation’s full production capacity or in the

interest of national defense programs, or in
the interest of assuring that a fair portion of
Government procurement is placed with
small business concerns.
(3) All of the offers received under this
solicitation will first be negotiated as to price
and an evaluation will be made as though
there were no set-aside.
(4) For the purposes of set-aside
evaluation, when an offer contains
increments at different prices, each
increment will be considered a separate offer.
Except as provided in (d) below, negotiations
will be limited to the offered quantities not
awarded under the provision of (c)(2) below.
(c) SET-ASIDE AWARD PROCEDURE.
(1) The price for the small business setaside portion will be negotiated by the
Contracting Officer based upon prices the
Government would otherwise pay the
successful offeror for the non-set-aside
portion of the location under this solicitation,
adjusted for transportation charges and other
factors. In the case of a small business
concern whose offer is determined by the
evaluation process to be low on the non-setaside portion, awards of the set-aside portion
will be made to that small business concern
without further negotiation. Contracts for any
remaining set-aside portions will be
negotiated with those eligible small business
concerns that have submitted a responsive
offer on the various items for which a setaside has been established. In no event will
a small business concern be awarded a setaside portion at a price higher than its offer
price under the non-set-aside portion.
(2) Negotiations for small business setaside awards will begin with the small
business concern with the lowest evaluated
price and a quantity of offered product
remaining. If the low small business concern
on the item does not offer to supply product
at the set-aside price established in
accordance with (1) above, the next low
small business concern on the item will be
given the same opportunity; this process will
continue with the successive low small
business concerns until all small business
concerns have been contacted.
(3) The Government reserves the right to
make awards to the otherwise low offeror for
all or any portion of the set-aside quantities,
without regard to the size of the offeror, if
eligible small business concerns do not offer
a quantity of product sufficient to meet a setaside requirement or do not offer to supply
at the set-aside prices. The total quantity that
will be awarded a small business offeror on
both the unreserved and reserved portions
will not exceed the total quantity offered
under this solicitation by such small business
offerors. However, if insufficient product is
offered by small business concerns to meet
the quantity set aside for small business,
small business concerns with which the
Government has already commenced
negotiations may be given an opportunity to
offer additional product.
(4) Where the Trade Agreements Act
applies to the non-set-aside portion, offers of
eligible products will be treated as if they
were qualifying country end products.
(d) AGREEMENT. For the set-aside portion
of the acquisition, a small business concern
submitting an offer in its own name agrees

to furnish, in performing the contract, only
end items manufactured or produced by
small business concerns inside the United
States. The term United States includes its
territories and possessions, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Trust
Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the
District of Columbia. If this procurement is
processed under simplified acquisition
procedures and the total amount of this
contract does not exceed $25,000, a small
business concern may furnish the product of
any domestic firm. This paragraph does not
apply in connection with construction or
service contracts.

Supplement 201.404, DESC is requesting a class deviation from FAR

lead-in appears above the clause. This clause is a deviation from
FAR Clause I237.
THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE APPLIES ONLY TO PARTIAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-
ASIDE LINE ITEMS THAT MAY BE CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
I237.06 NOTICE OF PARTIAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE (DEVIATION) (DESC)
(a) DEFINITION. Small business concern, as used in this clause,
means a concern, including its affiliates that is independently

it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small
business under the size standards in this solicitation.
(b) GENERAL.
(1) A portion of certain items of this procurement, as listed in
the Schedule, has been set aside for award to eligible small

(2) The partial small business set-aside of the procurement is
based on a determination by the Contracting Officer that it is in
the interest of maintaining or mobilizing the nation's full
production capacity or in the
[[Page 25845]]
interest of national defense programs, or in the interest of
assuring that a fair portion of Government procurement is placed
with small business concerns.
(3) All of the offers received under this solicitation will
first be negotiated as to price and an evaluation will be made as

contains increments at different prices, each increment will be
considered a separate offer. Except as provided in (d) below,
negotiations will be limited to the offered quantities not awarded
under the provision of (c)(2) below.
(c) SET-ASIDE AWARD PROCEDURE.
(1) The price for the small business set-aside portion will be
negotiated by the Contracting Officer based upon prices the
Government would otherwise pay the successful offeror for the non-
set-aside portion of the location under this solicitation, adjusted
for transportation charges and other factors. In the case of a small
business concern whose offer is determined by the evaluation process
to be low on the non-set-aside portion, awards of the set-aside
portion will be made to that small business concern without further
negotiation. Contracts for any remaining set-aside portions will be
negotiated with those eligible small business concerns that have
submitted a responsive offer on the various items for which a set-
aside has been established. In no event will a small business
concern be awarded a set-aside portion at a price higher than its
offer price under the non-set-aside portion.
(2) Negotiations for small business set-aside awards will begin
with the small business concern with the lowest evaluated price and
a quantity of offered product remaining. If the low small business
concern on the item does not offer to supply product at the set-
aside price established in accordance with (1) above, the next low
small business concern on the item will be given the same
opportunity; this process will continue with the successive low
small business concerns until all small business concerns have been
contacted.
(3) The Government reserves the right to make awards to the
otherwise low offeror for all or any portion of the set-aside
quantities, without regard to the size of the offeror, if eligible
small business concerns do not offer a quantity of product
sufficient to meet a set-aside requirement or do not offer to supply
at the set-aside prices. The total quantity that will be awarded a
small business offeror on both the unreserved and reserved portions
will not exceed the total quantity offered under this solicitation
by such small business offerors. However, if insufficient product is
offered by small business concerns to meet the quantity set aside
for small business, small business concerns with which the
Government has already commenced negotiations may be given an
opportunity to offer additional product.
(4) Where the Trade Agreements Act applies to the non-set-aside
portion, offers of eligible products will be treated as if they were
qualifying country end products.
(d) AGREEMENT. For the set-aside portion of the acquisition, a
small business concern submitting an offer in its own name agrees to
furnish, in performing the contract, only end items manufactured or
produced by small business concerns inside the United States. The
term United States includes its territories and possessions, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the Pacific
Islands, and the District of Columbia. If this procurement is
processed under simplified acquisition procedures and the total
amount of this contract does not exceed $25,000, a small business
concern may furnish the product of any domestic firm. This paragraph
does not apply in connection with construction or service contracts.
