Small Business and Socioeconomic Representation Compliance

The contract requires vendors to comply with post-award re-representation obligations under FAR 52.219-28, ensuring ongoing eligibility for small business or socioeconomic program designations following award. This applies to subcontractors participating under the NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services, and mandates accurate and timely updates to SAM.gov to reflect current status under any applicable small business or socioeconomic categories. Failure to maintain compliance may result in loss of program benefits, contract adjustments, or potential penalties. The requirement is triggered upon award and must be continuously upheld throughout performance, with updates required whenever there is a change in business size, ownership, or socioeconomic status. This subcontract is managed by the Department of Defense through the Maritime Supply Chain ESOC Buys office, and responses must be submitted by August 22, 2026. While no specific set-aside type is identified, participation requires strict adherence to federal representation guidelines to preserve program integrity. All contractors must access the DIBBS system via the provided link to review full requirements, submit necessary representations, and remain aligned with Department of Defense procurement expectations. Accountability rests with the prime contractor and all subcontractors to ensure continuous compliance post-award.
