SUBCONTRACTING PLAN OUTLINE

SMALL BUSINESS, SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS, WOMEN-OWNED SMALL

BUSINESS, HUBZone SMALL BUSINESS, VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS &

SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS

The following outline meets the minimum requirements in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subparts 19.7. This outline is intended to be a guideline only. It is not intended to replace any existing corporate plan, which is more extensive.

For fiscal year (FY) 20, CBP has an overall Small Business Subcontracting Goal of 41.0% for all small business concerns. This at a minimum also includes, 5.0% for small disadvantaged business (SDB), which includes 8(a), 5.0% for women-owned small business (WOSB), 3.0% for HUBZone small business, and 3.0% for service disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), a subset of veteran owned small businesses.

CBP requirements that are full and open and meet the dollar threshold for subcontracting typically include a Subcontracting Plan and other socio-economic criteria as an evaluation factor. In these instances, the highest socio-economic scores are given to the offeror proposing the highest cumulative dollars in all socio-economic categories. Accordingly, the offeror proposing the highest cumulative subcontracting dollars combined with the best historical record for achieving subcontracting goals derives a competitive advantage. CBP encourages offerors to propose socio-economic subcontracting goals which exceed the goals in each socio-economic category whenever possible.

Failure to make a good faith effort to comply with the subcontracting plan is a material breach of the contract and shall result in the imposition of liquidated damages (FAR 52.219-16 “Liquidated Damages – Subcontracting Plan”).

The key players for review and signature of the subcontracting plan are the Small Business Specialist (SBS), Small Business Administration (SBA) - Procurement Center Representative (PCR), and the Contracting Officer (CO) acceptance and approval prior to award.
