About this file

This is an industry user guide for vendors submitting subcontracting plans through the SBCX (Small Business Contracting Exchange) platform for HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) contract opportunities.

The guide provides step-by-step instructions for completing subcontracting plan submissions. Vendors invited by HHS must login to their SBCX account and navigate to the Subcontracting Plan Review section within the Industry Information area. The submission process consists of five key steps: (1) identifying the subcontracting plan type and reporting eligible subcontracting dollars; (2) providing required subcontracting goal data including descriptions of products/services to be subcontracted, methodologies for developing goals, and identifying potential small business sources; (3) identifying the subcontracting program administrator and their duties (supporting documentation only required for commercial plans); (4) describing efforts to include small businesses and acknowledging assurances; and (5) certifying completion and compliance before the submission deadline. The SBCX platform displays project information entered by the HHS Contracting Officer, subcontracting goals and requirements, documents for upload and review, and a notes feature for communication between vendors and contracting staff (available only for reviews in progress). After submission, a PDF version of the subcontracting plan is generated. The Contracting Officer may request clarifications and return plans for revision. Submitted plans undergo evaluation by three approvers: the Evaluation Contracting Officer, Evaluation Small Business Specialist, and Evaluation SBA Procurement Center Representative. Technical support is available at client.support@apexlogic.com.
