Small Business Subcontracting ComplianceThe contract requires support to ensure compliance with FAR 52.219-14 subcontracting requirements, specifically to assist a small business prime contractor in fulfilling the obligation that at least 50 percent of the contract work be performed by its own employees. This means the support provider must enable the prime contractor to meet this threshold by providing services or resources that directly contribute to workforce execution and performance without improperly relying on subcontractors to meet the requirement. The work must be carried out in a manner that aligns with federal regulations governing small business set-asides and subcontracting plans, ensuring accurate reporting and traceability of labor performed by the prime’s staff. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 541618, which corresponds to administrative management and general management consulting services, indicating the nature of support will likely involve consulting, process oversight, or compliance monitoring rather than direct technical or engineering services. Performance of the contract is required to take place in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026, and a posting date of August 9, 2026. The contracting activity falls under the Department of Defense’s Fluid Handling Division, and while no set-aside type is specified, the fundamental purpose is to reinforce small business prime compliance with federal subcontracting obligations under the FAR.
