The Director, OSBP, will establish guidelines for the PPMAP review OSBP segment. PPMAP review OSBP segments should be coordinated with the PPMAP review team leader. For reviews under 5201.691-2, the Director, OSBP, will designate OSBP review team members.

If SBA PCR does not review the small business coordination          record within five (5) business days, then the Contracting Officer may proceed based upon          their determination and the concurrence of the assigned SBP.       (c)(2) Notwithstanding FAR 19.402(c)(2), the review shall be completed within          15 business days unless additional time is requested by the PCR and agreed upon by the          contracting officer in accordance with the Procurement Center Business Operations Plan          between the DON and SBA, dated September 20, 2021.Subpart 5219.5 - SMALL BUSINESS TOTAL    SET-ASIDES, PARTIAL SET-ASIDES, AND RESERVES     5219.502-8 Rejecting Small Business Administration recommendations.

The contracting officer shall consider the CAO’s findings, including any recommendations, prior to approval of the subcontracting plan. The contract file shall be documented to reflect the review and the contracting officer's final decision relative to an acceptable goal. If the contracting officer determines that a subcontracting plan containing a zero goal is appropriate, the determination shall be approved at a level above the contracting officer and placed in the contract file.       (d)(7) Notwithstanding FAR 19.705-4(d)(7), submit pre-award subcontracting plans over $20M to the SBA PCR for review and advisory comments prior to award, in accordance with the Procurement Center Business Operations Plan between the DON and SBA, dated September 20, 2021.

(2)(i) Contracting officers, in evaluating SBA requests for 8(a) Program support, or independently considering other acquisition requirements that may be accomplished by 8(a) firms, should coordinate such efforts with the activity small business specialist and cognizant technical personnel.

(f) Agency reviews, in addition to the factors in FAR 19.803(a), may take the form of a technical presentation or should be structured in a manner that affords an exchange of information between the 8(a) firm and the contracting activity that will provide the 8(a) firm an adequate opportunity to demonstrate its capability and capacity to perform the requirement. For sole source 8(a) contracts, SBA regulations preclude the use of formal technical evaluations. Contracting officers, however, may conduct informal assessments of several 8(a) firms' capabilities to perform a specific requirement.       (S-90) When a lack of capability or capacity forms the basis for declination responses to SBA, such responses shall discuss factors such as the 8(a) contractor candidate's:       (1) lack of knowledge and understanding of the work to be performed;       (2) lack of experience in performing requirements of similar size and scope;       (3) lack of resources that are available (including contingent hires) or that must be acquired for contract performance;       (4) lack of ability to comply with subcontracting limitation provisions (see FAR clause 52.219-14);       (5) lack of ability to meet delivery schedules; and/or       (6) deficiencies in record of performance.       Contracting activities shall provide a copy of all 8(a) program declination letters to the Director, OSBP concurrent with submission to SBA. Declination letters are subject to direct appeal by the SBA Administrator to the Secretary of the Navy (see FAR 19.810). Contracting officers should coordinate such declinations with the activity small business specialist or the CCO.
