Subcontracting Plan Development & Reporting (Small Business Support)

The contract requires assistance to the prime contractor in developing and managing a comprehensive subcontracting plan aligned with FAR Part 19 objectives to meet federal goals for small, disadvantaged, and women-owned businesses. This includes designing strategies to ensure meaningful participation from these categories of businesses throughout the contracting lifecycle, with an emphasis on measurable outreach, outreach to relevant business networks, and the establishment of realistic utilization targets. The scope encompasses ongoing monitoring of subcontractor performance, documentation of compliance efforts, and the accurate compilation of mandatory reports to demonstrate adherence to federal small business participation requirements. Tracking and reporting are central to this engagement, necessitating the implementation of systems to log all subcontracting activities, maintain detailed records of communications and agreements with targeted business entities, and submit timely and accurate data to federal oversight bodies. The contractor must be adept at interpreting federal regulations and evolving compliance standards, ensuring that all actions taken are defensible and aligned with Department of Defense expectations under the Defense Logistics Agency. The work supports national priorities to promote economic opportunity and diversity within the defense supply chain, and success hinges on proactive management, rigorous data integrity, and consistent communication between prime and subcontractors to meet statutory goals.
