Large Business Prime Offerors shall provide an Individual Small Business Subcontracting Plan meeting the requirements of FAR clause 52.219-9, DFARS clause 252.219-7003, and AFARS Appendix DD (Subcontracting Plan Evaluation Guide). In accordance with DFARS 215.304(c)(i)(C), Prime Offerors shall ensure their Individual Small Business Subcontracting Plan includes the following requirement from AFARS Appendix DD: “A policy statement or evidence of internal guidance to company buyers that commits to complying with the Small Business Act (Public Law 99-661, Section 1207, and Public Law 100-180).” In accordance with DFARS clause 252.219- 7004, Large Business Prime Offerors who are participants in the DoD Test Program for Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plan, are only required to submit the current version of their DoD Comprehensive Subcontracting Plan, signed by both company officials and DCMA. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be provided as part of Volume III.

The Small Business Subcontracting Plan is NOT a requirement for evaluation in source selection, but rather a requirement for contract award to a Large Business Prime Offeror. If during the responsibility determination, prior to award, the Government has questions regarding the potential awardee’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the communications and questions are NOT considered a part of “Discussions,” as defined in FAR 15.306, Exchanges with Offerors After Receipt of Proposals. Failure to submit and resolve questions in the Prime Offeror’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan may result in the Offeror’s proposal being determined non-compliant and ineligible for award. Once determined “ACCEPTABLE,” the awardee’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated and made a material part of the resultant contract award.
