MODEL SUBCONTRACTING PLAN TEMPLATE

Remove these pages before submitting your completed subcontracting plan to the contracting officer

Notice to Offerors: GSA provides this model plan as a tool to be used by prime Contractors and subcontractors required to submit subcontracting plans. The plan is NOT a fill-in-the-blank form, nor does it replace the FAR requirements listed in the solicitation/contract. This is a tool to guide you through FAR subpart 19.7, The Small Business Subcontracting Program.

Before submitting subcontracting plans:

• Thoroughly review the requirements set forth in FAR 19.704, Subcontracting Plan Requirements, and FAR clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

• Understand the statutory requirements in FAR 19.702:

o Any contractor receiving a contract for more than the simplified acquisition threshold must agree in the contract that SB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), and WOSB concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

o It is further the policy of the United States that its prime contractors establish procedures to ensure the timely payment of amounts due pursuant to the terms of their subcontracts with SB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), and WOSB concerns.

o Each contract modification that causes the value of a contract without a subcontracting plan to exceed $700,000 ($1.5 million for construction), shall require the Contractor to submit a subcontracting plan for the contract, IF the Contracting Officer determines that subcontracting opportunities exist.

o The subcontracting plan shall be negotiated within the time specified by the Contracting Officer. Failure to submit and negotiate the subcontracting plan shall make the Offeror ineligible for award of a contract

• Separately address subcontracting with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business (including ANCs and Indian Tribes), and women-owned small business concerns.

• Choose the best type of plan for your company: commercial, individual, or master (See the description of the types of plans)

• Follow the instructions for calculating small business subcontracting goals, ensuring estimated dollars are applied against all socio-economic categories represented by the small business

• Understand the reporting requirements for the type of subcontracting plan selected as noted in FAR 52.219-9 and the ATTACHMENT to the Model Plan1.

• Adapt the Model Plan to fit your subcontracting situation, while reflecting best faith efforts and realistic stretch goals. Note: This model does not establish minimum requirements for an acceptable plan. It reflects objectives GSA encourages Contractors to adopt. Don’t merely repeat the GSA target goals, but put thought into maximum practicable opportunities that might be possible and achievable.

• Remove these instructional pages and the instructional language (in blue) throughout the Model Subcontracting Plan before submitting to the contracting officer.

Description of the Types of Plans:

COMMERCIAL SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

• This type of plan includes the Offeror’s (or Contractor’s) planned subcontracting for both commercial and government business, rather than solely to a single government agency or contract.

• This is the preferred type of subcontracting plan for Contractors furnishing commercial items and services2.

• A commercial plan:

o Covers only the company’s fiscal year (12 month period MM/DD/YY stated on the plan o Applies to the purchasing to support the entire production of commercial items sold by the entire company or is limited to a portion thereof (e.g.

division, plant, or product line). Please indicate such a statement in the commercial plan, i.e., company-wide or limited plan.

o Must include indirect costs (i.e. general and routine commercial purchases)

• The approved commercial plan remains in effect during the Contractor’s fiscal year for all Government contracts in effect during that period. Once a Contractor’s commercial plan has been approved, the Government shall not require another subcontracting plan from the same Contractor while the plan remains in effect, as long as the product or service being provided continues to meet the definition of a commercial item (i.e. only one commercial plan per Contractor annually).

• To submit a commercial plan:

o Complete Section I. Identification Data in the Model Template and check

“Commercial Plan” under Section II, Type of Plan

1 After November, 2017, contractors will be required to report subcontracting achievements at the order level under task/delivery order contracts in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005- 89.

2 FAR 19.704(d) and clause 52.219-9(g) o List the annual goals for each socio-economic category listed in the commercial plan format provided under Section III, Goals.

o Delete pages 3 through 9 (Tables 1 through 6 and the instructions for the individual plan).

o Complete Sections IV through XVI, ensuring a company official signs the plan.

o Submit the commercial plan to either the first Contracting Officer (of any agency) awarding a contract subject to the plan during the Contractor’s fiscal year, or, if the Contractor has ongoing contracts with commercial plans, to the Contracting Officer responsible for the contract with the latest completion date. That Contracting Officer shall negotiate the commercial plan for the Government covering that 12 month period.

o When the new commercial plan is approved, provide a copy of the approved plan to each Contracting Officer responsible for an ongoing contract that is subject to the plan o Be sure to submit a new commercial plan, 30 working days before the end of the Contractor’s fiscal year (i.e., plan expiration date) to the Contracting Officer responsible for the uncompleted Government contract with the latest completion date. Provide to each Contracting Officer responsible for an ongoing contract subject to the plan, the identity of the Contracting Officer that will be negotiating the new plan o After award, submit the required annual Summary Subcontracting Report (see the ATTACHMENT) to the contracting officer who approved the plan for all contracts (Government and commercial) covered by the commercial plan.

INDIVIDUAL SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

• Applies to a specific federal agency (GSA) contract

• Covers the entire contract period, including all options whether exercised or not

• Contains goals that are based on the offeror’s planned subcontracting (and purchasing) in support of the specific contract

• Indirect costs incurred for common or joint purposes may be included in the plan, allocated on a prorated basis to the contract. If included in the plan, indirect costs must be included in the reports after award.

• For contracts with option periods, the individual plan will include separate sections with goals and estimated value (or sales) for the base period and separate goals and estimated value for each option period.

• To submit an individual plan:

o Complete Section I, Identification Data, and check “Individual Plan” under

Section II, Type of Plan o Include separate goals, expressed in terms of total dollars subcontracted, and as a percentage of total planned subcontracting dollars. Note: If required by the Contracting Officer, also express goals in terms of percentage of total contract dollars, in addition to the goals required as a percentage of total subcontracted dollars3.

o Complete the Tables under Section III of the Template for an Individual Plan and remove page 10 which only applies to commercial plans. Each table must correspond to each period of the contract.

o Complete the Total Table 6 (NEW), summarizing the base period goals plus all options (which the CO will include on the transmittal Checklist for Review) o Complete Sections IV through XVI, ensuring a company official signs the plan o If the company has an approved Master Plan used to develop and incorporate the individual plan, provide a copy of the approved Master plan, including evidence of a Government Contracting Officer’s approval.

o Submit cumulative, semi-annual Individual Subcontract Reports (ISR), and the annual Summary Subcontract Report (SSR) using the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS website) as required. Refer to clause 52.219-9 and the ATTACHMENT.

o A contract may not have more than one subcontracting plan4. When a contract modification exceeds the subcontracting plan threshold (see 19.702(a)) or an option is exercised, the goals of an existing subcontracting plan shall be amended to reflect any new subcontracting opportunities not envisioned at the time of contract award. These goal changes do not apply retroactively.

o If a subcontracting plan has been added to the contract due to a modification or a size re-representation, the subcontracting goals apply from the date of incorporation of the subcontracting plan into the contract.

The Contractor’s achievements must be reported on the ISR on a cumulative basis from the date of incorporation of the subcontracting plan into the contract.

MASTER SUBCONTRACTING PLAN:

• This type of plan may be established on a plant or division-wide basis,5 when all elements of the plan are standard to the company with the exception of the goals

• Contains all the required elements of an individual subcontracting plan, except goals. Must include the list of supplies/services the company typically subcontracts, which will cover any specific project or acquisition that comes up

• Must first be approved by a contracting officer before using to craft an individual plan for a specific acquisition

• Shall be effective for a 3-year period after approval of a government Contracting Officer

3 FAC 2005-89

4 FAR 19.705-2(e) 5 FAR 19.704(b) and 52.219-9(f) http://www.esrs.gov/

• Changes required to update Master subcontracting plans are not effective until approved by the Contracting Officer

• May be incorporated by reference as a part of the individual subcontracting plan provided the Master plan has been approved

• Becomes an individual plan once goals are added for a specific acquisition.

Then, the individual plan applies to the contract for the life of the contract.

• To submit a Master plan for GSA approval6 o Complete Section I, Identification Data, and check “Master Plan” under

Section II, Type of Plan of the Model Subcontracting Plan Template o Complete Sections IV through XVI, ensuring a company official signs the plan.

• To use an approved Master plan with goals for a specific acquisition:

o Add goals specific to that acquisition to the approved Master plan.

o Provide evidence of prior Master plan approval by a government contracting officer.

o Submit the approved Master plan, with evidence of approval with specific goals to the appropriate contracting officer o Once approved by the contracting officer, the plan becomes an individual plan and is incorporated into the contract.

• Remember to:

o Update the Master plan every 3 years and provide copies of the approved Master plan, including evidence of its approval, to the Contracting Officer.

o Assign goals and document any deviations from the approved Master subcontracting plan when using the Master plan as part of an individual subcontracting plan submitted in response to a specific acquisition.

6 Master plans are rare at GSA. Often master plans have been pre-approved by the Department of Defense.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR

COMPUTING SUBCONTRACTING GOALS

(How to do the math tips)

The GSA subcontracting goals are provided for your information and are subject to change7. The following tips are offered to assist you with calculating the subcontracting plan goals (Section III of this template):

• Decide what your company can provide internally, then determine what is left to outsource

• Estimate total subcontracting dollars (“outsourcing,” “purchases” or “spend”) planned to both small and “other than small” business (OTSB)8 concerns over the period(s) covered by the type of plan selected: For an Individual subcontracting plan: List the total dollars (small and large/OTSB) estimated for subcontracting under the specific contract, including all option periods broken out separately for each period plus a summary of all periods for the total contract term;For a Commercial subcontracting plan: List the total value of all projected subcontract dollars (small and large/OTSB) to support the company-wide annual sales.

• Separately identify the dollars that will be subcontracted to both large/OTSB and to small businesses, which when added together make up the total dollars subcontracted to all concerns and 100%. Percent goals for each subcategory must be expressed as a percentage of the total subcontracting dollars to all concerns (both OTSB and small)9 See next page

• Apply the subcontracted dollars towards all small business socio-economic categories applicable to your suppliers. For example, a $30,000 subcontract awarded to a woman-owned, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran owned small business:

o apply $30,000 against WOSB o apply $30,000 against HUBZone o apply $30,000 against SDVOSB

7The goals are negotiated with the Small Business Administration (SBA) annually based on recent agency achievements. SBA is responsible for the Federal Government Goaling Program. Information on the goaling process which includes subcontracting can be found at: SBA Goaling Process.

8 The term “other than small business is used to indicate all other certifications that are not small.

Examples include non-profits, universities and educational institutions, utilities, state and local governments.

9 For individual subcontracting plans only, a Contracting Officer may also require the goals to be calculated as a percentage of total contract dollars, in addition to the goals required as a percentage of subcontracted dollars (FAC 2005-89).

https://www.sba.gov/contracting/contracting-officials/goaling o apply $30,000 against VOSB (since a SDVOSB is a VOSB) o apply $30,000 against small business since WOSB, HUBZone and

SDVOSB are socioeconomic small business subcategories.

Note: This is not double/triple counting, but ensures credit is given to all socioeconomic categories represented by the small business

• The small business dollar amount must include all small business socioeconomic subcategories; i.e., HUBZone, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB (plus any "other small" businesses that do not fall within one of these specified subgroups).

Note: include Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs) and Indian tribes are included in both the SDB and total small business amounts.

• Once the dollars have been assigned to each socioeconomic category, calculate the percentage for each category separately against the “Total dollars to be subcontracted.”

* Caution: Only the OTSB total plus the small business total should equal the total dollars to be subcontracted in both dollars and percent. See calculation “notes” within Section III of this template for further assistance. Do not add together the small business socioeconomic subcategories to reach the total small business figure, as the same dollars should already be included in the small total.

Planned Subcontracting by Business Size

Sample Dollars GSA Goal (FY 2017)

Total Subcontracted Dollars

$1,000,000 100%

Other than Small Business (OTSB/Large)

$710,000 71%

All Small (includes HUBZone, Small Disadvantaged Business, Women- Owned Small, Veteran- Owned Small, Service- Disabled Veteran-Owned Small and other small business concerns

$290,000 29%

The Total dollars to be subcontracted will be used as the denominator in calculating the percentages for each socio-economic category.

*NOTE: The total $290,000 to all Small businesses already includes each subcategory (HUBZone, SDB, ANCs, WOSB, VOSB, and SDVOSB), plus other small businesses that are only small and do not fall into a specified category

Identify subcontracts awarded to the small business socio-economic subcategories and calculate the percentages using the total subcontract dollars as the denominator:

Planned Subcontracting by Business Size

Sample Dollars GSA Goal (FY 2017)

HubZone Small Business $30,000 3% Small Disadvantaged Business

$50,000 5%

Women-Owned Small Business

$50,000 5%

Veteran-Owned Small Business

$30,000 3%

Service-Disabled Veteran- Owned Small Business10

$30,000 3%

10 SDVOSB should always be less than or equal to VOSB.

III. GOALS:

FAR clause 52.219-9(d) states that the subcontracting plan shall include the following:

(1) Separate goals, expressed in terms of total dollars subcontracted, and as a percentage of total planned subcontracting dollars, for the use of small business (including ANCs and Indian tribes), veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business (including ANCs and Indian tribes) and women-owned small business WOSB concerns as subcontractors.

For individual subcontracting plans, and if required by the Contracting Officer, goals shall also be expressed in terms of percentage of total contract dollars, in addition to the goals expressed as a percentage of total subcontract dollars. The Offeror shall include all subcontracts that contribute to contract performance, and may include a proportionate share of products and services that are normally allocated as indirect costs.

(2) A statement of total dollars planned to be subcontracted for an individual subcontracting plan; or for a commercial plan, the Offeror’s total projected sales, expressed in dollars, and the total value of projected subcontracts to support the sales for a commercial plan; and, total dollars planned to be subcontracted to SB concerns, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBzone, SDB, and WOSB concerns.

Remember:

• Commercial plans will always reflect annual company-wide goals

• Individual plans will reflect contract-specific goals, including all options. The individual plan shall contain separate statements and goals for the basic contract (period) and for each option (period) remaining.

• Do not include goals for Master plans submitted for approval.

• Dollars and percentages to OTSB and total small businesses (including all socioeconomic subsets) must equal the total subcontracted to both categories in dollars and percentages.

• Goals will only reflect percent of total contract value (optional) for individual subcontracting plans IF required by the Contracting Officer.

Each contractor is expected to offer the maximum practicable opportunities to each type of small business concern, consistent with their best faith efforts and supported by their reports and records of actual achievements.

Note that “zero” is not considered a “positive” goal to strive for, which the far requires, and additional steps plus justification will be needed if a contracting officer plans to accept any category that lacks a goal.

COMPLETE THE GOAL FORMAT BELOW ONLY IF SUBMITTING AN INDIVIDUAL

SUBCONTRACTING PLAN. The tables are provided to assist in computing the total subcontract dollars and percentages, including all options. (If submitting a commercial plan, please remove the following sample pages, for base and option goals, before submitting your plan.)

First, complete the table for the base period of the contract and each option period, if any, “A contract may have no more than one subcontracting plan.”

Note: If a subcontracting plan is being added to an existing contract due to a contract modification exceeding the plan threshold in 19.702(a), use clause 52.219-9 with the new Alternate IV to replace paragraphs (c) and (d). If re-representation of business size (no longer small) occurs, and a subcontracting plan is being added to the existing contract, please delete the appropriate section (Base Goals and any earlier option periods) which have already ended and submit separate sections and goals only for the remaining periods of the contract.

However, when an option period is being exercised under a contract with an existing subcontracting plan, a new subcontracting plan is not required. The goals of the pending option are added to those in the existing approved subcontracting plan. When the goals are amended, these goal changes do not apply retroactively, but from date of incorporation of the plan into the contract.

Then, complete the Total Goals (Sum of all periods) table which follows the individual period sections.

Company Name] provides the following separate dollar and percentage goals, which are a percentage of the total subcontracting dollars for each business category **plus a percentage of total contract value (only IF required by the Contracting Officer for this contract):

IV. PRINCIPAL TYPES OF SUPPLIES AND SERVICES TO BE SUBCONTRACTED:

FAR 19.704(a)(3) and the clause at 52.219-9(d)(3) requires a description of the principal types of supplies and services to be subcontracted and an identification of types of supplies or services planned for subcontracting to SB (including ANCs and Indian tribes),VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), and WOSB concerns.

Check all possible business categories that apply below, ensuring that at least one item is indicated for each column. If assistance is needed to locate small business sources:

• Contact your local Small Business Administration Commercial Market Representative via www.sba.gov/localresources

• Access the Dynamic Small Business Search database at Link to Dynamic Small Business Search

• Post solicitations for small business opportunities on SBA’s SUB-Net at https://eweb1.sba.gov/subnet/search/index.cfm

The principal types of supplies and/or services that [Company Name] anticipates to be subcontracted (outsourced) and the identification of the type of supply or service offered to each business concern are as follows:

Supplies/Services Large Small VOSB SDVOSB HUBZone SDB WOSB

ATTACH ADDITIONAL SHEETS IF NECESSARY

V. DESCRIPTION OF METHOD USED TO DEVELOP SUBCONTRACTING GOALS:

FAR 19.704(a)(4) and the clause at 52.219-9(d)(4) require a description of the method used to develop the subcontracting goals. Explain or state the basis for establishing your proposed goals (i.e. based on historical data and experience, market research, etc.) Provide a justification for any low goal(s) and other explanations for your challenges here.

[Company Name] used the following method to develop the subcontracting goals:

http://dsbs.sba.gov/dsbs/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm http://dsbs.sba.gov/dsbs/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm https://eweb1.sba.gov/subnet/search/index.cfm

VI. DESCRIPTION OF METHOD USED TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SOURCES: FAR

19.704(a)(5) and clause 52.219-9(d)(5) require a description of the method used to identify potential sources for solicitation purposes (e.g., existing company source lists, the System for Award Management (SAM), veterans service organizations, the National Minority Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service, the Research and Information Division of the Minority Business Development Agency in the Department of Commerce, or small, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small business trade associations). A firm may rely on the information contained in SAM as an accurate representation of a concern’s size and ownership characteristics for the purposes of maintaining SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB, and WOSB source lists.

Note: Use of SAM as a source list does not relieve a firm of its responsibilities to identify potential small business sources by other means (e.g., outreach, assistance, counseling, or publicizing subcontracting opportunities) in this clause. FAR 19.703 adds that the prime contractor may not require the use of SAM for the purposes of representing size or socioeconomic status in connection with a subcontract . . . and a prime contractor acting in good faith is not liable for misrepresentations made by its subcontractors regarding their size or socioeconomic status.

[Company Name] identifies potential subcontractors using the following source lists and organizations (please list your sources used):

VII. INCLUSION OF INDIRECT COSTS IN ESTABLISHING GOALS: FAR

19.704(a)(6) and clause 52.219-9(d)(6) require a statement as to whether or not the Offeror included indirect costs in establishing subcontracting goals, and a description of the method used to determine the proportionate share of indirect costs to be incurred with SB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB (including ANCs and Indian tribes), and WOSB concerns.

PER THE SBA, CONTRACTORS SUBMITTING COMMERCIAL PLANS SHOULD

ALWAYS INCLUDE INDIRECT COSTS TO MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES AND

CAPTURE MAJOR COMPANY-WIDE EXPENSES.

NOTE: indirect costs represent the expenses of doing business that are NOT easily identified with a specific project (i.e. contract or grant) but are generally recognized as ordinary and necessary for the general operation of the Contractor’s organization and the conduct of activities it performs. Types of indirect costs include routine supplies and general and administrative (G&A) expenses. However, fringe benefits (e.g. services or benefits provided to employees such as health insurance, payroll taxes, pension contribution, etc.), are NOT considered subcontracting and shall be excluded).

Indirect costs _____HAVE BEEN (or) _____HAVE NOT BEEN included in the dollar and percentage subcontracting goals stated above.

If indirect costs HAVE been included in individual subcontracting plans, provide the method used to determine the proportionate share of indirect costs to be incurred with small business concerns for your contract below. Note: Since indirect costs not specific to the individual contract are prorated to performance under that contract, including such costs is sometimes not beneficial nor does it add any value to the goals. When a subcontracting plan includes indirect costs in the goals, these costs must be included in your reports submitted into eSRS.

VIII. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR: FAR 19.704(a)(7) and clause 52.219-9(d)(7) require the name of the individual employed by the Offeror who will administer the Offeror’s subcontracting program, and a description of the duties of the individual.

Please add the contact information for this person (telephone number and email address), in case of questions, and provide an alternate point of contact, if applicable.

Duties: In accordance with clause 52.219-9(d)(11)(e), in order to effectively implement this plan to the extent consistent with efficient contract performance, the Contractor shall perform the following functions:

1. Assist SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB concerns by arranging solicitations, sufficient time for the preparation of bids, quantities, specifications, and delivery schedules so as to facilitate the participation by such concerns. Where the Contractor’s lists of potential SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB subcontractors are excessively long, reasonable effort shall be made to give all such small business concerns an opportunity to compete over a period of time.

2. Provide adequate and timely consideration of the potentialities of SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB concerns in all “make-or-buy” decisions.

3. Counsel and discuss subcontracting opportunities with representatives of SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB firms.

4. Confirm that a subcontractor representing itself as a HUBZone small business concern is certified by SBA as a HUBZone small business concern in accordance with 52-219-8(d)(2).

5. Provide notice to subcontractors concerning penalties and remedies for misrepresentations of business status as SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB for the purpose of obtaining a subcontract that is to be included as part or all of a goal contained in the Contractor’s subcontracting plan.

6. For all competitive subcontracts over the simplified acquisition threshold in which a small business concern received a small business preference, upon determination of the successful subcontract offeror, prior to award of the subcontract the contractor must inform each unsuccessful small business subcontract offeror in writing of the name and location of the apparent successful offeror and if the successful subcontract offeror is a SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBzone SB, SDB, or WOSB concern.

7. Assign each subcontract the NAICS code and corresponding size standard that best describes the principle purpose of the subcontract.

8. Ensure periodic rotation of potential subcontractors on bidders’ lists.

9. Ensure that SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB concerns are included on the bidders’ list for every subcontract solicitation for products and services they are capable of providing.

10. Ensure that subcontract procurement “packages” are designed to permit the maximum possible participation of SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB concerns.

11. Review subcontract solicitations to remove statements, clauses, etc., which might tend to restrict or prohibit SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB concerns.

12. Ensure that the subcontract bid proposal review board documents its reasons for not selecting any low bids submitted by SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, SDB and WOSB concerns.

13. Oversee the establishment and maintenance of contract and subcontract award records.

14. Attend or arrange for the attendance of company counselors at Business Opportunity Workshops, Minority…
