1. Attachment 16: Directs to webpage with Section J attachment files, but we were unable to find the “Small Business Subcontracting Plan” attachment in the list. Is this the 52- 219-9-Small Business Subcontracting Plan document (https://www.acquisition.gov/far/52.219-9)? This seems to be a set of instructions, and not a fillable pdf as the other files in Section J, Business Proposal Attachments were.
