DFARS 252.219–7003, Small Business 

Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts). 

DoD needs this information to improve 

administration under the small business 

subcontracting program and to evaluate 

a contractor’s past performance in 

complying with its small business 

subcontracting plan. 

The clause at DFARS 252.219–7003 is 

prescribed for use in solicitations and 

contracts that include the clause at 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.219– 

9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan. 

Paragraph (e) of the DFARS clause 

requires the contractor to notify the 

contracting officer, in writing, of any 

substitutions of firms that are not small 

business firms, for the small business 

firms specifically identified in the 

subcontracting plan. The notification is 

necessary when (1) a prime contractor 

has identified specific small business 

concerns in its subcontracting plan, and 

(2) after contract award, substitutes one 

of the small businesses identified in its 

subcontracting plan with a firm that is 

not a small business. The intent of this 

information collection is to alert the 

contracting officer of this situation.
