L-3 ADDED 52.219-4005 SUBMISSION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLAN FEB/1999

(TACOM)

(a) Please refer to FAR 52.219-9, SMALL BUSINESS AND SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, which is incorporated by reference in Section I of this solicitation. The clause requires large businesses to submit a subcontracting plan for small and small disadvantaged business concerns. Such plans are not required from offerors that are small businesses.

(b) Large businesses may submit a copy of their plans (i) as an attachment to their offer in response to this solicitation; or

(ii) after the bid opening/proposal closing date, in response to the Government's telephonic request (in which case the copy must be provided within five workdays of the date of the request). The plan will be submitted to the buyer's e-mail address on the face page of the solicitation.

(c) Mark each page of your subcontracting plan with the solicitation number and date. If this is a negotiated acquisition, the

Government reserve the right to negotiate any and all elements of the proposed plan during negotiation of cost, technical, and/or managerial features of the proposal. The Government also reserve the right in negotiated acquisitions to discuss the subcontracting plan after receipt of any best and final offer, in which case such discussion shall not constitute a re-opening of negotiations.

(d) Failure to submit and, if applicable, negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan which, in the judgment of the Contracting

Officer, provides the maximum practicable opportunity for small business and small disadvantaged business concerns to participate in the awarded contract shall render the offeror ineligible for award. In this connection, offerors should be aware of the statutory goal that has been placed on the Department of Defense to award five percent of its total planned subcontracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses (to include Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions) at the prime contract and subcontract levels. In view of this Congressional mandate, large businesses shall provide specific explanation as a part of any written subcontracting plan furnished in response to this solicitation/contract that identifies a goal for subcontracting to small disadvantaged business concerns and/or Historically Black Colleges and Universities and/or Minority Institutions that, in the aggregate, amounts to less than five percent of the proposal's total subcontracting dollars.
