FAR 52.219-8, Utiliz! ation of Small, Small Disadvantaged and Women-Owned Small Business Concerns states in part, the Contractor hereby agrees to carry out this policy in the awarding of subcontracts to the fullest extent consistent with efficient contract performance. If the offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance. The offerors are reminded that in order to receive proposal evaluation benefit as SDB or HUBZone SB either as prime or subconsultant, proposed SDBs and HUBZoneSBs must be certified by the Small Business Administration. Prime contractors may determine whether a prospective subconsultant is a certified SDB or HUBZone by accessing the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at www.ccr.gov. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFAR) require the use of On-Line Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as part of the proposal submission process. Offerors are req! uired to complete the ORCA on-line via website http://orca.bpn.gov.
