COVER PAGE TO MODEL SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

Pre-Award

Notice to Other Than Small Vendors: USTRANSCOM OSBP provides this model plan as a tool. You must adapt this model plan to fit your subcontracting situation. The plan is NOT a fill-in-the-blank form and you must remove instructional language. This model does not establish minimum requirements for an acceptable plan. The model reflects objectives USTRANSCOM encourages contractors to adopt.

USTRANSCOM expects offerors to thoroughly review the requirements set forth in DFARS 252.219-7003, (except when the contract will not be reported in FPDS),FAR 19.704 AND FAR clause 52-219-9 (Deviation 2016-O0009) (AUG 2016), Alternate II, for Subcontracting Plan Requirements of the Small Business Subcontracting Plan before submitting their subcontracting plans.

Subcontracting Plan Types for USTRANSCOM (Subpart 19.7 –Small Business Subcontracting Program)

Commercial Plan- A subcontracting plan (including goals) that covers the offeror’s fiscal year and that applies to the entire production of commercial items sold by either the entire company or a portion thereof (e.g., division, plant, or product line). Note that this type of plan shall relate to the offeror’s planned subcontracting generally, for both commercial and government business, rather than solely to the government contract. Per FAR 19.704(d) and clause 52.219-9(g), a commercial plan is the preferred type of subcontracting plan for contractors furnishing commercial items. 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 by the contractor continues to meet the definition of a commercial item. The contractor shall— (1) Submit the commercial plan to either the first contracting officer 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. The contracting officer shall negotiate the commercial plan for the Government. The approved commercial plan shall remain in effect during the contractor’s fiscal year for all Government contracts in effect during that period; (2) Submit a new commercial plan, 30 working days before the end of the Contractor’s fiscal year, to the contracting officer responsible for the uncompleted Government contract with the latest completion date. The contractor must 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; (3) 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; and (4) Comply with the reporting requirements stated in paragraph (a)(10) of FAR 19.704 by submitting one SSR in eSRS, for all contracts covered by its commercial plan. An ISR is not required for vendors with commercial plans. The SSR report will be acknowledged or rejected in eSRS by the contracting officer who approved the plan. The report shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of the Government’s fiscal year.

Individual Plan: Covers the entire contract period, applies to a specific contract, and has goals that are based on the offeror’s planned subcontracting (and purchasing) in support of the specific contract, except that indirect costs incurred for common or joint purposes may be allocated on a prorated basis to the contract.

For contracts with option periods, the plan will include separate goals and estimated value (or sales) for the base period with separate goals and estimated value for each option period. Per FAR 52.219-9(c) this type of plan must separately address subcontracting with small business (SB), veteran-owned small business (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small business(SDVOSB), HUBZone small business concerns, small disadvantaged business (SDB) (including ANCs and Indian Tribes), and women-owned small business concerns (WOSB), with a separate part for the basic contract and separate parts for each option (if any). The plan shall be included in and made a part of the resultant contract. 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. The Contractor shall submit the Individual Subcontract Report (ISR), and the Summary Subcontract Report (SSR) using the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) (http://www.esrs.gov), following the instructions in the eSRS

USTRANSCOM SUBCONTRACTING GOALS (Stated in plan)

Total estimated subcontracting dollars (or spend) planned to all types of business concerns must be provided, then separately state the dollars that will be subcontracted to each category. All percentages for each category will be expressed as a percentage of the total subcontracting dollars to all concerns (both large and small)*.

The Small business dollar amount must include all sub-group category amounts; i.e., HUBZone, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB (plus any "other small" businesses that do not fall within one of these specified subgroups).

Again note that Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs) and Indian tribes will be included in the SDB and total small amounts.

*Only the large plus all small should equal the total in both dollars and percentages. Do not add together subgroups to reach the total Small figure, as the same dollars can be double and triple counted for each group as applicable to the company receiving the order.

Sample Dollars SAMPLE Goal

Total dollars to be subcontracted $1,000,000 100% (to both Large and Small Businesses) *To Large Businesses $ 695,000* *69.5% *To all Small Businesses $ 305,000* *30.5% (includes HUBZone Small, Small Disadvantaged, Women-Owned Small, Veteran-Owned Small, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small, and Other Small Business Concerns)

To HUBZone Small Businesses $ 30,000 3% To Small Disadvantaged Businesses $ 50,000 5% To Women-Owned Small Businesses $ 50,000 5% To Veteran-Owned Small Businesses $ 30,000 3% (includes SDVOSB below in this total) To Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses $ 30,000 3%

NOTE: The total $305,000 to all Small businesses already includes each subgroup (HUBZone, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, and SDVOSB), plus other small businesses that are only small and do not fall into a specified category.

Check all that apply below, ensuring that at least one item is indicated for each column. If assistance is needed to locate small business sources, refer to your local Small Business Administration Commercial Market Representative via https://www.sba.gov/content/cmr-directory or access the Systems for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov or utilizing SBA’s Dynamic Small Business Search at http://dsbs.sba.gov/dsbs/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm.

E. 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.

Types of indirect costs include overhead (e.g. facility/utility & supplies cost), general and administrative (G&A), and fringe benefits (e.g. services or benefits provided to employees such as health insurance, payroll taxes, pension contribution, etc).
