Additional Important Note for Other than U.S. Small Businesses ONLY.

Other-than-U.S. SB offerors must also submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan meeting the requirements of FAR 52.219-9, DFARS 252.219-7003, DFARS 252.219-7004 (if the offeror has a comprehensive subcontracting plan), and DFARS PGI 219.705-4, using the DOD Checklist for Reviewing Small Business Subcontracting Plans. The socio-economic dollars must be equal to or greater than the commitments proposed in the Small Business Participation Plan. It is the Government’s expectation that the percentages will be met. Failure to meet or exceed the percentages without sufficient justification in terms of the good faith efforts applied may result in the offeror paying liquidated damages to the Government IAW FAR 52.219-16 “Liquidated Damages – Subcontracting Plan” and a CPARS rating less than satisfactory. Small Business specifically identified in the Small Business Participation Plan must be listed in any Small Business Subcontracting Plan submitted pursuant to DFARS 215.304(c)(i)(C). It is important to note that Small Business Subcontracting Plans are not evaluated as part of the selection process. Rather, they are reviewed only if the offeror is selected for an award. Failure to submit an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plans may result in the offeror’s ineligibility for award.

The firms will be required to notify the Contracting Officer of any substitutions of firms that are not SB firms, for the SB firms specifically identified in the Small Business participation Plan and Small Business Subcontracting Plan. Notifications shall be in writing and shall occur within a reasonable period of time after award of the subcontract to facilitate compliance with DFARS 252.219-7003(e).
