The following outline meets the minimum requirements of section 8(d) of the Small Business Act, as amended, and implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 19.7. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) recommends that offerors use the following format to submit proposed Individual Subcontracting Plans.

SUBCONTRACT PLAN REQUIREMENTS- Failure to include the essential information of FAR Subpart 19.7 may be cause for either a delay in acceptance or the rejection of a bid or offer when a subcontracting plan is required. “SUBCONTRACT,” as used in this clause, means any agreement (other than one involving an employer‑employee relationship) entered into by a Federal Government prime contractor or subcontractor requesting supplies or services required for performance of the contract or subcontract.

If assistance is needed to locate small business sources, contact the Small Business Specialist (SBS) supporting the OPDIV. SBS contact information is located on the OSDBU website (http://www.hhs.gov/about/smallbusiness/osdbustaff.html) or you may contact the OSDBU headquarters at (202) 690-7300.

*Master (Addendum) FORMCHECKBOX *Commercial FORMCHECKBOX

*When Master is checked, Individual must also be checked and submission must include both.

*If Commercial is checked, please stop here and attach a copy of your commercial plan.

For Informational Purposes:

Individual plan - all elements developed specifically for this contract and applicable for the full term of this contract.

Master plan - goals developed for this contract, all other elements standardized and approved by a lead agency Federal Official; must be renewed every three years and contractor must provide copy of lead agency approval.

Commercial products/service plan - goals are negotiated with the initial agency on a company-wide basis rather than for individual contracts; this plan applies to the entire production of commercial service or items or a portion thereof. The contractor sells commercial products and services customarily used for non-government purposes. The plan is effective during the offeror’s fiscal year.

2. Subcontracting Goal Data: (FAR19.702(a)(1-3) & FAR 52.219-9(d)(1)) Below indicate the dollar and percentage goals for Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged (SDB) including Alaska Native Corporations and Indian Tribes, Women‑owned and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB) Small Businesses and “Other than Small Business” (Other) as subcontractors.
