MASTER SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

Yellowstone, Grand Teton, & Surrounding Area Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC)

MASTER SUBCONTRACTING PLAN for solicitation number 69056718R000003

INTRODUCTION

“Master subcontracting plan” means a subcontracting plan that contains all the required elements of an individual subcontracting plan, except goals, and may be incorporated into individual subcontracting plans, provided the master subcontracting plan has been approved.

Purpose: The purpose of the Master Subcontracting Plan is to identify the approach the prime contractor will follow to ensure subcontracting requirements are solicited and selected in a manner that facilitates maximum competition and quality workmanship. The competition is not only for allowing maximum participation of small businesses and local businesses, but also ensures subcontract work is competitively priced to support the Government receiving fair and reasonable prices. The Master Subcontracting Plan must be completed by all large business offerors. This plan must be submitted prior to award of the contract and may require discussion prior to acceptance by the government. This plan will be incorporated into the contract after award.

For each Task Order the contractor shall submit a subcontracting plan specific to the Task Order.

Consider the following FHWA small business goals in development of Task Order Subcontracting plans and efforts:

FHWA Small Business Goals (As of FY 2018) Business Size Goal

SB 41.4%

SDB 5%

HUBzone 3%

WOSB 5%

SDVOSB 3%

INSTRUCTIONS:

Where subcontracting opportunities will not exist for the solicitation, the bidder/offeror shall submit a response outlining the rationale for making this determination with its proposal/bid. The statement shall be signed by an official authorized to make decisions on behalf of the firm.
