- Plans must contain goals expressed as both % of total contract value and % of total subcontracted dollars
- SB subcategories _do not_ add up to SB total
- Set-aside procurements relieve Subcontracting Plan requirement
- Determinations of no subcontracting possibilities – one level above Contracting Officer
