Subcontracting Plan Development

The contract requires the development and submission of a federal subcontracting plan aligned with FAR 52.219-9, applicable should the prime contractor exceed established subcontracting thresholds. This obligation is tied to a specific procurement under NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to administrative management and general management consulting services. The plan must be meticulously prepared to demonstrate compliance with federal small business subcontracting goals and reporting requirements, ensuring equitable opportunity for small businesses in the performance of the contract. The submission deadline is May 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM, with the solicitation posted on May 1, 2026, providing a seven-day window for response preparation and submission. The contracting activity falls under the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically managed by the 255-NETWORK Contract Office 15 (36C255). While no specific place of performance or set-aside designation is indicated, the focus is on the procedural and regulatory adherence required for subcontracting plan development rather than the location or scope of services. The contract does not specify award type or eligibility criteria beyond the requirement to meet the subcontracting thresholds, making it incumbent on offerors to assess their own projected subcontracting activity to determine applicability. All submissions must be completed through the SAM.gov portal using the provided link to ensure proper receipt and processing.
