Subcontracting Plan Development & Small Business Coordination

The contract requires the development of a fully FAR-compliant subcontracting plan designed to support small business participation and maximize socioeconomic objectives. This includes establishing specific small business goals aligned with federal requirements, identifying and integrating similarly situated entities into the subcontracting structure, and ensuring seamless coordination with relevant federal socioeconomic programs such as those supporting 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. The plan must be thorough, measurable, and structured to meet the Department of Defense's expectations for equitable opportunity and supplier diversity within the procurement framework. The work is categorized under NAICS code 541611 and is being managed by the W6QK Acc-Orlando office within the Department of Defense. Proposals are due by August 11, 2026, and the contract focuses exclusively on the planning and coordination phase rather than direct service delivery. There is no set-aside designation specified, but the emphasis is on compliance with federal subcontracting regulations and the strategic integration of certified small and disadvantaged businesses. Success will depend on the bidder’s demonstrated expertise in navigating federal acquisition rules, constructing realistic and achievable small business targets, and maintaining alignment with broader governmentwide initiatives aimed at expanding economic inclusion across the defense supply chain.
