Submission, and Negotiation of 

Subcontracting Plans 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Acquisition 

Officer, GSA. 

ACTION: Notice of request for comments 

regarding a renewal to an existing OMB 

clearance. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the General Services 

Administration will be submitting to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request to review and approve 

a renewal of a currently approved 

information collection requirement 

regarding preparation, submission, and 

negotiation of subcontracting plans. A 

request for public comments was 

published at 74 FR 446, January 6, 2009. 

No comments were received. 

This information collection will 

ensure that small and small 

disadvantaged business concerns are 

afforded the maximum practicable 

opportunity to participate as 

subcontractors in construction, repair, 

and alteration or lease contracts. 

Preparation, submission, and 

negotiation of subcontracting plans 

requires for all negotiated solicitations 

having an anticipated award value over 

$500,000 ($1,000,000 for construction), 

submission of a subcontracting plan 

with other than small business concerns 

when a negotiated acquisition meets all 

four of the following conditions. 

1. When the contracting officer 

anticipates receiving individual 

subcontracting plans (not commercial 

plans). 

2. When the award is based on tradeoffs among cost or price and technical 

and/or management factors under FAR 

15.101–1. 

3. The acquisition is not a commercial 

item acquisition. 

4. The acquisition offers more than 

minimal subcontracting opportunities. 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before: 

June 18, 2009.
