Subcontracting Plan Development (for Prime Bidders)

The contract seeks the development of a subcontracting plan designed to support potential small business participation goals in the event that a prime contract is awarded. This effort is specifically tied to prime bidders preparing for a future procurement, with the goal of establishing a compliant and strategic framework to meet federal small business subcontracting targets. The plan must be structured to align with industry standards and regulatory expectations, ensuring that small businesses are meaningfully engaged across the scope of anticipated work. The North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicates that the underlying prime contract will involve administrative management and general management consulting services. The opportunity is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through its 248-NETWORK Contract Office 8, with performance expected to take place in Tampa, Florida, at zip code 33612. Interested parties must submit their proposals by July 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM, following a brief three-day window from the posting date of July 27, 2026. While no specific set-aside designation is provided, the initiative is clearly focused on facilitating small business inclusion, and the successful respondent will be responsible for creating a detailed, actionable, and audit-ready subcontracting plan tailored to the anticipated prime contract’s requirements. The effort does not guarantee prime contract award but is critical for positioning bidders to meet federal subcontracting obligations should the procurement advance.
