Strategic Plan
The strategy to implement the policy
of Executive Order 13360 shall be publicly available on the SSA Internet
page at www.ssa.gov. The estimated timeframe to accomplish this strategy
is First Quarter 2006.
- The development and
implementation of the Agency's strategy and achievements in furtherance
of the strategy shall be included as significant elements in the
performance plans of SSA's designated senior-level official, the
Associate Commissioner, Office of Acquisition and Grants (OAG) and the
Director, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU).
The estimated timeframe to accomplish this strategy is First Quarter
2006.
- Agency contracts that
have previously been awarded to service-disabled veteran-owned small
businesses shall be reserved exclusively for the program as either a
non-competitive or set-aside acquisition. The estimated timeframe to
accomplish this strategy is First Quarter 2006 after development of the FY
2006 Forecast.
- In order to encourage
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to participate in
competitions for award of Agency contracts, SSA's contracting staff will:
- Send FedBizOpps notices to a list of
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses provided by the Veteran
Administration (VA);
- Solicit at least one service-disabled
veteran-owned small business on any full and open competition;
- Require acquisition professionals to first
consider the General Services Administration's (GSA) Government-Wide
Acquisition Contract for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses
when soliciting from the Federal Supply Schedule;
- Provide the Director, OSDBU access to
FedBizOpps to release sources sought synopses; and
- Mandate that Regional Contracting Officers
adhere to this strategy.
- The Associate
Commissioner, OAG and the Director, OSDBU will meet with a number of the
Agency's largest contractors to encourage them to identify
service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns for a
mentor-protégé relationship. The estimated timeframe to accomplish this
strategy is Second Quarter 2006.
- The acquisition
workforce (including senior manager, program managers and procurement
personnel) will receive necessary Defense Acquisition University training
courses on applicable law and policies relating to participation of
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses in Federal contracting.
The estimated timeframe to accomplish this strategy is Third Quarter 2006.
- SSA will disseminate
information that would assist service-disabled veteran-owned small
businesses in participating in the acquisition process by creating a web
page exclusively for service disabled veteran-owned small businesses with
links to the VA, GSA and the Small Business Administration's Office of
Government Contracting web page at www.sba.gov/GC. The estimated milestone
to accomplish this strategy is Fourth Quarter 2006.
- Include the Central
Contractor Registration as a marketing tool. This strategy has been
accomplished and will continue as standard operating procedure.
- Encourage
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to register in the Central
Contractor Registration. This strategy has been accomplished and will
continue as standard operating procedure.
