Small Business Subcontracting & Socioeconomic Compliance

This contract supports the prime contractor in achieving small business subcontracting goals by ensuring proper participation and reporting of socioeconomic categories including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone firms, and other designated groups. The effort is designed to meet federal compliance requirements under a Total Small Business Set-Aside as defined by the SBA and FAR 19.5, with the North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicating management consulting services. The work is performance-based and tied to reporting obligations that track subcontracting activity with these specified categories to validate adherence to set-aside objectives. The contract is issued by DLA Maritime under the Department of Defense with performance located in Portsmouth, Virginia, 23709. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 8, 2026, at 4:00 PM, indicating a tight turnaround for proposals. The type of contract is subcontract, meaning the awardee will function as a support entity to the prime contractor rather than as a direct federal contractor, providing expertise in compliance, data collection, and reporting for socioeconomic subcontracting targets. Failure to meet these reporting obligations could impact the prime’s compliance standing and future contracting opportunities.
