Agenda

Impact of Small Businesses on U.S. economy

Small firms accounted for 64% of the net new jobs created between 1993 and 2011 -- that’s

11.8 million of the 18.5 million net new jobs!

Bureau of Labor Statistics

❖ 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns ❖ 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan ❖ 52.219-16, Liquidated damages

Key FAR clauses

❖ “Maximum practicable opportunity for SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, VOSBs, SDVOSBs, HUBZones to participate in government contracts and subcontracts”

❖ Expressed at 52.219-8

➢ Note: contractors agree to implement to the “fullest extent” ❖ Unacceptable plans makes the offeror “ineligible for contract award” = responsibility determination

Statutory requirement (FAR 19.702)

❖ Statutory requirement ❖ “Maximum practicable opportunity for SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, VOSBs, SDVOSBs, HUBZones to participate in government contracts and subcontracts”

❖ Contractors agree to implement the U.S. policy to the “fullest extent”

❖ Requires contractor confirm HUBZone certified by SBA

FAR 52.219-8

Utilization of Small Business Concerns

❖ 15 elements to a subcontracting plan:

➢ Goals

➢ What is subcontracted?

➢ How company will make the “good faith effort”

➢ Reporting requirements

➢ Assurances

❖ More than goals! Goals as thesis statement and the remaining elements either prove the thesis or not

“Tell the story” “When in doubt, write it out!”

FAR 52.219-9

Small Business Subcontracting Plan

❖ Consequences of failing to make a “good faith effort” to maximize opportunities for SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, VOSBs, SDVOSBs, HUBZone to participate

❖ “Good faith effort” defined in 13 CFR 125.3 ❖ Negative performance evaluations

FAR 52.219-16

Liquidated damages

Example:

$100,000 subcontract award to a SB who is also a WOSB and SDVOSB equals:

❖$100,000 to WOSB ❖$100,000 to SDVOSB ❖$100,000 to VOSB ❖$100,000 to SB

Aim for Socio-Economic SBs

WHY????

That’s $400,000 in small business credit for your goals before award and actual $$ reported after award!!
