Small Business Subcontracting and Reporting

Small and socio-economic category businesses have the opportunity to participate as subcontractors under a mandatory small business subcontracting plan outlined in FAR 52.219-9, Alternate III, which requires prime contractors to develop and implement plans to maximize participation from eligible small businesses. This contract, managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, is structured to promote inclusive economic participation and ensure compliance with federal subcontracting goals, though specific NAICS codes, set-aside classifications, and performance locations are not detailed. Subcontractors are expected to engage in activities supporting the prime contract, with reporting obligations tied to the subcontracting plan’s requirements, and all participation must align with the agency’s broader objectives for small business engagement. The contract is accessible through the DIBBS portal, with the awarded contract identifier SPE1C126F4982 and associated contract number SPE1C125D0088, and was posted on June 26, 2026, indicating the timeframe for potential subcontracting opportunities under this mechanism.
