SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (SAMPLE)

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), paragraph 19.708(b)(1)) prescribes the use of the clause at FAR 52.219-9 entitled "Small Business Subcontracting Plan.” The following is a suggested model for use when formulating such subcontracting plan. While this model plan has been designed to be consistent with FAR 52.219-9, other formats of a subcontracting plan may be acceptable. However, failure to include the essential information as exemplified in this model may be cause for either a delay in acceptance or the rejection of a bid or offer where the clause is applicable.

Further, the use of this model is not intended to waive other requirements that may be applicable under FAR 52.219-

9. "SUBCONTRACT," as used in this clause, means any agreement (other than one involving an employer-employee relationship) entered into by a federal government prime contractor or subcontractor calling for supplies or services required for performance of the contract or subcontract.

VI. FLOW DOWN CLAUSE:

(For information purposes only: FAR 19-704(a)(9) requires that your company include FAR 52.219-8, "Utilization of Small Business Concerns," in all subcontracts that offer further subcontracting opportunities. Your company must require all subcontractors, except small business concerns, that receive subcontracts in excess of $700,000 ($1,500,000 for construction) to adopt a plan that complies with the requirements of FAR 52.219-9, "Small Business Subcontracting Plan.") The offeror (contractor) agrees that the clause entitled "Utilization of Small Business Concerns" at FAR 52.219-8 will be included in all subcontracts that offer further subcontracting opportunities, and all subcontractors (except small business concerns) who receive subcontracts in excess of $700,000 ($1,500,000 for construction) will be required to adopt a subcontracting plan that complies with FAR 52.219-9. Such plans will be reviewed by comparing them with the provisions of Public Law 95-507, and assuring that all minimum requirements of an acceptable subcontracting plan have been satisfied. The acceptability of percentage goals shall be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the supplies/services involved, the availability of potential Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and Women-Owned Small Business subcontractors, and prior experience. Once approved and implemented, plans will be monitored through the submission of periodic reports, and/or, as time and availability of funds permit, periodic visits to subcontractors facilities to review applicable records and subcontracting program progress.

VII. REPORTING AND COOPERATION:

(iii) submit the Individual Subcontract Report (ISR), and the Summary Subcontract Report (SSR) using the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS);, (iv) ensure that subcontractors with subcontracting plans agree to submit the ISR and/or the SSR using eSRS, (v) provide the prime contract number, DUNS number, and the e-mail address of the offeror’s official responsible for acknowledging receipt of or rejecting the ISRs, to all first-tier subcontractors with subcontracting plans so they can enter this information into the eSRS when submitting their ISRs, and (vi) require that each subcontractor with a subcontracting plan provide the prime contract number, its own DUNS number, and the e-mail address of the subcontractor’s official responsible for acknowledging receipt of or rejecting the ISRs, to its subcontractors with subcontracting plans.)

The offeror/contractor agrees to submit such periodic reports and cooperate in any studies or surveys as may be required by the contracting agency or the Small Business Administration in order to determine the extent of compliance by the offeror/contractor with the subcontracting plan and with the clause entitled "Utilization of Small Business Concerns," contained in the contract. The above reports will include submission of its Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR) and Summary Subcontract Report (SSR)
