About this file
This file is an HHS Industry User Guide for Subcontracting Plan Reviews, providing instructions for vendors on how to navigate and complete small business subcontracting plans within the SBCX platform. The guide outlines the submission process, which begins when HHS notifies vendors to submit subcontracting plans through their registered SBCX account via the Subcontracting Plan Review page located in the Industry Information section. Vendors access the review portal which displays project information entered by the HHS Contracting Officer, subcontracting goal requirements, document upload capabilities, and a messaging system for communication with the Contracting Officer and Small Business Specialist.
The completion process involves five sequential steps: Step 1 requires identifying the subcontracting plan type and reporting eligible subcontracting dollars; Step 2 requires providing subcontracting goal data and contract value information broken down by small business category; Step 3 requires identifying the Subcontracting Program Administrator and their duties (documentation only for commercial plans); Step 4 requires describing efforts to include small businesses and acknowledging assurances; and Step 5 requires certification of completion and compliance prior to the submission deadline. After submission, a PDF version of the plan becomes available. The Contracting Officer may request clarifications and return the plan for revision. The evaluation process involves three approvers: an Evaluation Contracting Officer, Evaluation Small Business Specialist, and Evaluation SBA Program Compliance Representative. Technical support is available at client.support@apexlogic.com.
