“Contractor Name agrees that the FAR clause 52.219-8 entitled "Utilization of Small Business Concerns" will be included in all subcontracts which offer further subcontracting opportunities, and all subcontractors, except SB concerns, that receive subcontracts in excess of $750,000 ($1,500,000 for construction) will be required to adopt plans that comply with the requirements of the clause at 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

The acceptability of percentage goals shall be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the supplies/services involved, the availability of potential small and small disadvantaged subcontractors, and prior experience. Once approved and implemented, plans will be monitored through the submission of periodic reports, and/or, as time and availability of funds permit, periodic visits to review subcontracting program progress.
