Small Business Subcontracting & Program Compliance Support

This contract supports compliance with small business participation requirements under FAR 19.5 for a Total Small Business Set-Aside, even though a formal subcontracting plan is not required. The contractor must manage and track all small business subcontracting activities, ensuring proper reporting and documentation to demonstrate adherence to federal small business goals. This includes maintaining records of subcontracts awarded to small businesses, monitoring performance, and preparing necessary reports to meet Department of Transportation obligations under the Maritime Administration. The effort is focused on ensuring the prime contractor fulfills its obligation to provide meaningful opportunities for small businesses without the need for a pre-approved subcontracting plan. The work is tied to a contract under NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services, and the performance location is in Kings Point, NY, with a zip code of 11024. The opportunity is open to small businesses only, as it is a total small business set-aside administered by the Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of May 7, 2026, at 6:30 PM, and the contractor must be prepared to implement compliance measures immediately upon award, including ongoing tracking systems and transparent reporting practices to validate small business participation throughout the contract period.
