**[FAQs -- Subcontracting Report]{.underline}**

1.  I have no task orders awarded on my 8(a) STARS contract, do I have
    to submit a subcontracting report?

    -   Yes. The modification states: *"Report(s) must be submitted
        every reporting period even if there is no change or no activity
        on your contract."*

    -   Enter "No Activity" or "No task orders" in column A.

2.  I have task orders awarded on my 8(a) STARS contract but do not have
    any subcontractors, do I have to submit a report?

    -   Yes. In order ensure that your company gets credit for all sales
        on the 8(a) STARS contract, ALL task orders must be reported.

    -   If there is no subcontractor, enter "None" in column C and "0"
        in columns D and E.

3.  I have multiple subcontractors on a single task order, how do I
    reflect that on the report?

    -   Make a separate line for each subcontractor. Break out the
        dollar value and percentage subcontracted to each individual
        company.

4.  My task order has work in multiple functional areas, in which
    functional area do I report the task order?

    -   A task order is awarded in only one functional area, even when
        there are labor categories from multiple functional areas. You
        should report the task order in the functional area where a
        preponderance of the work is being done.

5.  Do I have to submit a report for each functional area?

    -   Yes. The modification states: *"A separate report shall be
        completed for [each functional area.]{.underline}"*

6.  Who should sign the subcontracting report?

    -   The mandatory report format requires the contract manager's
        signature. The contract manager is responsible for the accuracy
        and completeness of the report(s). If there are any questions
        regarding the report(s), the contract manager who we have on
        file will be the person contacted to request clarification
        and/or resubmission.

7.  Can I fax or email the report back to you?

    -   Yes, as long as the report(s) has the contract manager's
        signature.

    -   Fax to 816.823.1608

    -   Email to misty.claypole@gsa.gov

8.  What is the correct reporting period for this report?

    -   The subcontracting report should show **06/2005-11/2005** on the
        "reporting period" line.

9.  Can you clarify what is meant by cumulative report?

    -   All task orders that have been awarded on your 8(a) STARS
        contract must be reported on the subcontracting report(s) until
        the work is completed -- regardless of what reporting period the
        task order was awarded.

        -   Example: Task Order GST123456789 was awarded February
            16, 2005. The task order was reported during the previous
            subcontracting report, but not all work had been completed
            before May 31, 2005 -- the end of the last reporting period.
            Task order GST123456789 will be reported in this reporting
            period (and every period after) until the work has been
            completed on the task.

    -   If a task order was reported on the previous reporting period
        and work was completed during the previous reporting period, it
        does not need to be reported during this period.

10. Where on the 8(a) STARS website can I find a blank copy of the
    required subcontracting report?

11. The email address listed in the SBGWAC Center's files is wrong. What
    do I need to do to change it?

        industry partner list of the 8(a) STARS website) or
        President/CEO must send an email (8a@gsa.gov), fax
        (816.823.1608) or letter requesting the change.
