About this file
This is an industry user guide for vendors submitting subcontracting plans through the SBCX (Small Business Contracting Exchange) platform for HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) contract opportunities.
The guide outlines the five-step process for completing subcontracting plans: (1) identify the subcontracting plan type and report eligible subcontracting dollars, (2) provide all required subcontracting goal data including descriptions of products/services to be subcontracted and methodologies for developing goals, (3) identify the subcontracting program administrator and their duties (supporting documentation only required for commercial plans), (4) describe efforts to include small businesses and acknowledge assurances, and (5) certify completion and compliance before the submission deadline. Vendors access subcontracting plan requirements through their registered SBCX accounts in the Industry Information section, where they can view the Summary (project information), Subcontracting Goals (requirements), Documents (upload supporting materials), and Notes (communication with Contracting Officer and Small Business Specialist for plans in progress). A publicly available subcontracting plan may require pricing information and displays only the Summary section. After submission, a PDF version of the plan becomes available. The Subcontracting Plan Review process involves evaluation by three approvers: the Evaluation CO, Evaluation SBS, and Evaluation SBA PCR. The Contracting Officer may request clarifications and return plans for revision. Technical support is available at client.support@apexlogic.com.
