and information on all bundled or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Donna Fudge, Procurement Analyst, 

Office of Policy, Planning, and Liaison, 

Small Business Administration, at 

Donna.fudge@sba.gov, (202) 205–6363. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Defense Authorization Act 

(NDAA) for FY 2023, section 873, 

amended 15 U.S.C. 644(p) requiring 

data and information on the 

consolidation of contract requirements 

to be included in the annual Contract 

Bundling and Consolidation Report to 

Congress. Beginning in December 2023, 

the Federal agencies shall provide data 

and information on all bundled or 

consolidated contract requirements in 

their annual reports to SBA. 

Each annual report shall include the 

following information: 

• Data on the number, arranged by 

NAICS, of small business concerns 

displaced as prime contractors as a 

result of the award of bundled or 

consolidated contracts by Federal 

agencies; and 

• A description of the activities with 

respect to previously bundled or 

consolidated contracts of each Federal 

agency during the preceding year, 

including— 

• Data on the number and total dollar 

amount of all contract requirements that 

were included in bundled or 

consolidated contracts; and 

With respect to each bundled or 

consolidated contract, data or 

information on— 

• The justification for the bundling of 

contract requirements or consolidation 

of contract requirements (as applicable); 

• The cost savings realized by the 

bundling of contract requirements or the 

consolidation of contract requirements 

(as applicable) over the life of the 

contract; 

• The extent to which maintaining 

contract requirements in a bundled or 

consolidated contract is projected to 

result in continued savings; 

• The extent to which the bundling of 

contract requirements or the 

consolidation of contract requirements 

(as applicable) complied with the 

contracting agency’s small business 

subcontracting plan, including the total 

dollar value awarded to small business 

concerns as subcontractors and the total 

dollar value previously awarded to 

small business concerns as prime 

contractors; and 

• The impact of the bundling of 

contract requirements or the 

consolidation of contract requirements 

(as applicable) on small business 

concerns unable to compete as prime 

contractors for the contract and on the 

industries of such small business 

concerns, including a description of any 

changes to the proportion of any such 

industry that is composed of small 

business concerns. 

If SBA does not receive a Contract 

Bundling and Consolidation Report 

from an agency, SBA will report the 

agency and SAM.gov data regarding the 

agency’s bundled or consolidated 

contracts to Congress with the 

consolidated annual report. 

If the agency determines that actions 

were incorrectly coded as bundled or 

consolidated in SAM.gov, the agency is 

responsible for correcting SAM.gov to 

reflect the accurate status. SBA will not 

adjust the SAM.gov data on its own. 

The report must be submitted to SBA 

in a Section 508 compliant PDF. 

Agencies should verify the report is 

section 508 compliant with their office 

responsible for section 508 compliance 

prior to submission to SBA. 

Periodic Report for Bundled Contract 

Database 

Agencies must submit information to 

SBA on a periodic basis to include in 

the bundling-affected contractors 

database, as required by section 15(p)(2) 

of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 

644(p)(2). The database identifies each 

small business concern that has been 

displaced as a prime contractor as the 

result of a bundled contract. 

In accordance with section 15(p)(2), 

agencies must provide to SBA on a 

periodic basis—and no less than 

annually—(1) a list of the bundled 

contracts awarded by the Federal agency 

since the agency’s last report and (2) the 

name and unique entity identifier (UEI) 

for each small business concern that has 

been displaced as a prime contractor as 

a result of the award of the bundled 

contract.
