Subcontracting Plan Compliance & Small Business Coordination

The contract supports Oshkosh’s 8(a) subcontracting plan by facilitating meaningful participation from certified small businesses, ensuring full alignment with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19.8 requirements for small business set-asides. It involves coordinating outreach, monitoring subcontractor activities, and maintaining accurate documentation to meet federal compliance standards, with a focus on verifying that small businesses contribute substantially to the performance of the contract. All reporting and tracking must adhere to the guidelines established for 8(a) program participants and demonstrate measurable progress toward Oshkosh’s established small business goals. The work is tied to a Department of Defense procurement under the Defense Logistics Agency, utilizing NAICS code 541611 for Management Consulting Services, indicating the scope includes strategic planning, compliance oversight, and administrative coordination rather than direct manufacturing or logistics execution. The contract requires ongoing engagement with certified small businesses to ensure their inclusion aligns with federal subcontracting objectives and that all submissions meet stringent reporting deadlines and data integrity standards. Performance will be evaluated based on the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of compliance documentation and the demonstrable impact of small business involvement in fulfilling contractual obligations.
