Small Business Subcontracting and Compliance Support

This contract seeks support to ensure full compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements related to small business subcontracting, with specific emphasis on implementing and maintaining the reporting and recordkeeping obligations outlined in clause 52.219-28. The work involves advising on the proper execution of small business subcontracting plans, accurate tracking of subcontractor performance, and timely submission of required reports to meet federal obligations under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, which restricts eligibility solely to small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services, and is issued by the Department of Defense’s Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate to facilitate adherence to statutory and regulatory mandates designed to promote small business participation in federal contracting. The solicitation operates under a strict timeline, with a response deadline of June 30, 2026, and is posted with the intention of securing expertise to oversee compliance throughout the lifecycle of subcontracting activities. The requirement is not tied to a specific physical location for performance, and there is no designated point of contact listed, suggesting that all necessary information and submission protocols are accessible through the provided DIBBS platform link. Contractors must demonstrate a clear understanding of FAR/DFARS compliance frameworks, small business certification criteria, and the administrative burden of maintaining audit-ready documentation for potential government reviews. Success in this engagement hinges on the ability to provide actionable, compliant guidance that aligns with the Department of Defense’s commitment to small business inclusion while mitigating risk of noncompliance.
