B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that contractors must submit to comply 

with the requirements of the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation clause at 

52.229–2, North Carolina State and 

Local Sales and Use Tax. This clause 

requires contractors for construction or 

vessel repair to be performed in North 

Carolina to provide certified statements 

setting forth the cost of the property 

purchased from each vendor and the 

amount of sales or use taxes paid. The 

North Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act 

authorizes counties and incorporated 

cities and towns, to obtain each year 

from the Commissioner of Revenue of 

the State of North Carolina, a refund of 

sales and use taxes indirectly paid on 

building materials, supplies, fixtures, 

and equipment that become a part of or 

are annexed to any building or structure 

in North Carolina. However, to 

substantiate a refund claim for sales or 

use taxes paid on purchases of building 

materials, supplies, fixtures, or 

equipment by a contractor, the 

Government must secure from the 

contractor certified statements setting 

forth the cost of the property purchased 

from each vendor and the amount of 

sales or use taxes paid. Similar certified 

statements by subcontractors must be 

obtained by the general contractor and 

furnished to the Government. 

The Government will use the 

information as evidence to establish 

exemption from State and local taxes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0007, Subcontracting Plans. 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors and contractors must 

submit to comply with the requirements 

in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

52.219–9, Small Business 

Subcontracting Plans, regarding 

subcontracting plans as follows: 

1. Subcontracting plan. In accordance 

with section 8(d) of the Small Business 

Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)), any contractor 

receiving a contract for more than the 

simplified acquisition threshold must 

agree in the contract that small business, 

veteran-owned small business, servicedisabled veteran-owned small business, 

HUBZone small business, small 

disadvantaged business, and womenowned small business concerns will 

have the maximum practicable 

opportunity to participate in contract 

performance. Further, 15 U.S.C. 637(d) 

imposes the requirement that 

contractors receiving a contract that is 

expected to exceed, or a contract 

modification that causes a contract to 

exceed, $750,000 ($1.5 million for 

construction) and has subcontracting 

possibilities, shall submit an acceptable 

subcontracting plan that provides 

maximum practicable opportunities for 

small business, veteran-owned small 

business, service-disabled veteranowned small business, HUBZone small 

business, small disadvantaged business, 

and women-owned small business 

concerns. Specific elements required to 

be included in the plan are specified in 

section 8(d) of the Small Business Act 

and implemented in FAR subpart 19.7 

and the clause at FAR 52.219–9. 

2. Summary Subcontract Report 

(SSR). In conjunction with the 

subcontracting plan requirements, 

contractors with subcontracting plans 

must submit an annual summary of 

subcontracts awarded as prime and 

subcontractors for each specific Federal 

Government agency. Contractors submit 

the information in a SSR through the 

Electronic Subcontracting Reporting 

System (eSRS). This is required for all 

contractors with subcontracting plans 

regardless of the type of plan (i.e., 

commercial or individual). 

3. Individual Subcontract Report 

(ISR). In conjunction with the 

subcontracting plan requirements, 

contractors with individual 

subcontracting plans must submit semiannual reports of their small business 

subcontracting progress. Contractors 

submit the information through eSRS in 

an ISR, the electronic equivalent of the 

Standard Form (SF) 294, Subcontracting 

Report for Individual Contracts. 

Contracts that are not reported in the 

Federal Procurement Data System 

(FPDS) in accordance with FAR 

4.606(c)(5) do not submit ISRs in eSRS; 

they will continue to use the SF 294 to 

submit the information to the agency. 

4. Written explanation for not using a 

small business subcontractor as 

specified in the proposal or 

subcontracting plan. Section 1322 of the 

Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Jobs 

Act), Public Law 111–240, amends the 

Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(6)) 

to require as part of a subcontracting 

plan that a prime contractor make good 

faith effort to utilize a small business 

subcontractor during performance of a 

contract to the same degree the prime 

contractor relied on the small business 

in preparing and submitting its bid or 

proposal. If a prime contractor does not 

utilize a small business subcontractor as 

described above, the prime contractor is 

required to explain, in writing, to the 

contracting officer the reasons why it is 

unable to do so.
