About this file
This is an industry user guide for HHS vendors on how to complete and submit subcontracting plans through the SBCX (Small Business Contracting Exchange) portal. The guide is designed for vendors invited by HHS to submit subcontracting plans for review and approval.
The document outlines the five-step process for completing subcontracting plans. Step 1 requires vendors to identify the subcontracting plan type (Individual Plan, Master Plan, or Commercial Product/Service Plan) and report eligible subcontracting dollars. Step 2 involves providing all required Subcontracting Goal Data, including descriptions of products/services to be subcontracted, methodologies for developing goals, and identification of potential sources. Step 3 requires identification of the Subcontracting Program Administrator and their duties, though commercial plans require only supporting documentation. Step 4 requires vendors to describe efforts to include small businesses in subcontracting plans and acknowledge assurances. Step 5 involves certification of plan completion and compliance, followed by submission before the deadline. The document notes that subcontracting plans are evaluated by three approvers: an Evaluation Contracting Officer (CO), an Evaluation Small Business Specialist (SBS), and an Evaluation SBA PCR (Procurement Center Representative). After submission, a PDF version of the plan is generated, and the Contracting Officer may request clarifications or revisions. The Notes feature within SBCX enables communication between vendors and both the CO and SBS during the in-progress review phase. Technical support is available at client.support@apexlogic.com.
