SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

In accordance with the Small

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631, et seq.),

contractors receiving a contract for more

than $10,000 agree to have small and

small disadvantaged business concerns

participate in the performance of the

contract as far as practicable.

Contractors receiving a contract or a

modification to a contract expected to

exceed $500,000 ($1,000,000 for

construction) must submit a

subcontracting plan that provides

maximum practicable opportunities for

small and small disadvantaged business

concerns. Specific elements required to

be included in the plan are specified in

section 8(d) of the Small Business Act

and are implemented in FAR 19.7.

In conjunction with these plans,

contractors must submit reports of their

progress on SF 295, Summary

Subcontract Report. In addition, OFPP

Policy Letter 91–1, Government-Wide

Small Business and Small

Disadvantaged Business Goals for

Procurement Contracts, requires

Executive branch departments and

agencies to report the number and dollar

value of subcontracts awarded to small

business, small disadvantaged business

and women-owned small business. The

report is being revised to delete the

requirement to report Labor Surplus

Area Subcontracts and to collect

subcontract goal achievement on

contracts with women-owned small

business concerns (DOD only). This

information is required to implement

Section 7105 of Public Law 103–355.

Information submitted on SF 295 is

used to assess contractor’s compliance

with their subcontracting plans and to

report achievement of goals for

subcontract awards to small business,

small disadvantaged business and

women-owned small business.

for this collection of information is

instructions, searching existing data

sources, gathering and maintaining the
