Subcontractor Compliance & Small Business Participation

The contract requires subcontractor compliance and active participation to assist the prime contractor in fulfilling small business goals set by the Department of Defense under NAICS code 332510. The focus is on establishing partnerships with certified small business entities including Women-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone firms, and Small Disadvantaged Businesses to meet federal small business utilization targets. Performance of the work is centered in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a specific zip code designation, indicating a defined geographic obligation. Subcontractors must be certified and able to demonstrate compliance with applicable federal small business programs, ensuring that the prime contractor can meet its contractual obligations related to small business participation. The solicitation is open for responses through August 17, 2026, with submissions expected to detail the subcontractor's capability, past performance, certification status, and proposed scope of work. The effort is part of a broader initiative by the Land Supply Chain organization to ensure equitable distribution of contract opportunities while maintaining supply chain readiness. All participating subcontractors must be fully compliant with federal certification standards and prepared to provide documentation upon request. The prime contractor will rely on these subcontractors to contribute meaningfully to small business goals, and failure to meet participation benchmarks may result in performance penalties or contract adjustment.
