SUBCONTRACTING PLAN OUTLINE

## Last update: March 2006

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 19.7, the Small
Business Subcontracting Program, requires large business concerns (also
known as other-than-small business concerns), who are apparently the
successful offerors, to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan that
identifies the total planned dollars and percentage of the acquisition
to be subcontracted to small business, veteran-owned small business,
service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business,
small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns.
This subcontracting plan outline is offered as guidance for developing a
subcontracting plan that complies with Public Law 95-507 and FAR Subpart
19.7.

The respective FY06 and FY07 U.S. Department of Commerce subcontracting
goals are:

  ------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
  Small business                              40.00%

  Small disadvantaged                         16.99%

  Women-owned small                           8%

  HUBZone small                               3%

  Veteran-owned small business                3%

  Service-disabled veteran-owned              3%
  ------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

**These target goals are to be applied to the overall value of the
acquisition.** If assistance is needed to locate small business sources,
contact the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization
(OSDBU) at (202) 482-1472.

**1. TYPE OF PLAN (Check only one)**

\_\_\_\_\_INDIVIDUAL PLAN: In this type of plan, all elements are
developed specifically for this

contract and are applicable for the full term of this contract
(including option periods).

\_\_\_\_\_MASTER PLAN: In this type of plan, goals are developed for
this contract; all other elements are standard. The master plan shall be
effective for a 3-year period after approval by the contracting officer.
A master plan, when incorporated in an individual plan, shall apply to
that contract throughout the life of the contract.

\_\_\_\_\_COMMERCIAL PLAN: This type of plan is used when the contractor
sells large quantities of off-the-shelf commodities to many Government
agencies. Plans/goals are negotiated with the initial agency on a
company-wide basis rather than for individual contracts. The plan is
effective only during the year approved. The contractor must provide a
copy of the initial agency approval, AND MUST SUBMIT THEIR ANNUAL
SUBCONTRACTING REPORT DATA (via the federal government's web-based
Electronic Subcontracting Reporting
System...[http://www.esrs.gov](http://www.esrs.gov/)) TO COMMERCE WITH A
BREAKOUT OF SUBCONTRACTING PRORATED FOR COMMERCE.

**6. CLAUSE INCLUSION AND FLOW DOWN**

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 \$500,000 (\$1,000,000 for construction) to
adopt and comply with a plan similar to the plan required by FAR
52.219-9, "Small Business Subcontracting Plan."

Your company agrees that the clause will be included and that the plans
will be reviewed against the minimum requirements for such plans. The
acceptability of percentage goals for small, small disadvantaged,
women-owned small, HUBZone small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled
veteran-owned small business concerns must be determined on a
case-by-case basis depending on the supplies and services involved, the
availability of potential small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small,
HUBZone small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small
business subcontractors and prior experience. Once the plans are
negotiated, approved, and implemented, the plans must be monitored
through the submission of individual and summary subcontracting reports
via the federal government's web-based Electronic Subcontracting
Reporting System...[http://www.esrs.gov](http://www.esrs.gov/).

**7. REPORTING AND COOPERATION**

\* FAR 19.704 (a) (10) requires that your company (1) cooperate in any
studies or surveys as may be required, (2) submit periodic reports which
show compliance with the subcontracting plan; (3) submit Standard Form
SF 294, "Subcontracting Reports for Individual Contracts", and SF 295,
"Summary Subcontract Report," in accordance with the instructions on the
forms, except the **original** shall be mailed to the contracting
officer and a **copy** to the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business
Utilization; and (4) ensure that subcontractors agree to submit SF 294
and SF 295.

These reports must be received within 30 days after the close of each
calendar period. That is:

[Calendar Period]{.underline} [Report Due]{.underline} [Date
Due]{.underline} [Send Report To]{.underline}

10/01\--03/31 SF 294 04/30 contracting officer with copy to OSDBU

**\* (Calendar Year 2005) The U.S. Small Business Administration has
identified and will submit changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) Council. The changes are needed to implement the federal
government's web-based Electronic Subcontracting Reporting
System...www.esrs.gov. The system will replace the papercopy SF294 and
SF295.**

**8. RECORD KEEPING**

FAR 19.704 (a) (11) requires a description of the types of records your
company will maintain to demonstrate the procedures adopted to comply
with the requirements and goals in the subcontracting plan. (Check all
that apply)

> A. Small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small, HUBZone small,
> veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business
> concerns source lists, guides, and other data identifying such vendors

YES NO

> B. Organizations contacted for small, small disadvantaged, women-owned
> small, HUBZone small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled
> veteran-owned small business sources.

YES NO

C.  On a contract-by-contract basis, records on all subcontract
    solicitations over \$100,000 which indicate for each
    solicitation (1) whether small business concerns were solicited, and
    if not, why not; (2) whether small disadvantaged business concerns
    were solicited, and if not, why not; (3) whether women-owned small
    businesses were solicited, and if not, why not; (4) whether HUBZone
    small businesses were solicited, and if not, why not; (5) whether
    veteran-owned (including service disabled veteran-owned) small
    businesses were solicited, and if not, why not, and (6) reasons for
    the failure of solicited small, small disadvantaged, women-owned
    small, HUBZone small, and veteran-owned (including service-disabled
    veteran-owned) small business concerns to receive the subcontract
    award

YES NO

> D. Records to support other outreach efforts, e.g., contacts with
> minority and small business trade associations, attendance at small
> and minority business procurement conference and trade fairs

> purchasing personnel, e.g., workshops, seminars, training programs,
> incentive awards, and (2) monitor activities to evaluate compliance

YES NO

> F. On a contract-by-contract basis, records to support subcontract
> award data including the name, address and business size and ownership
> status of each subcontractor. (This item is not required for
> commercial subcontracting plans).

YES NO

G. Other records to support your compliance with the subcontracting
plan: (Please describe)
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**9. TIMELY PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTORS**

FAR 19.702 requires company to establish and use procedures to ensure
the timely payment of amounts due pursuant to the terms of your
subcontracts with small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small, HUBZone
small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business
concerns.

Your company has established and uses such procedures: YES NO

**10. DESCRIPTION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORT**

Maximum practicable utilization of small, small disadvantaged,
women-owned small, HUBZone small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled
veteran-owned small business concerns as subcontractors in Government
contracts is a matter of national interest with both social and economic
benefits. When a contractor fails to make a good faith effort to comply
with a subcontracting plan, these objectives are not achieved, and 15 U.
S. C. 637 (d) (4) (F) directs

that liquidated damages shall be paid by the contractor. In order to
demonstrate your compliance with a good faith effort to achieve the
small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small, HUBZone small,
veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business
subcontracting goals, outline the steps your company plans to take.
These steps will be negotiated with the contracting officer prior to
approval of the plan.
