**SECTION L -- ATTACHMENT C - INSTRUCTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESS
SUBCONTRACTING PLAN**

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), paragraph 19.708 (b) 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 cause a delay in
plan review and approval. 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.
