This document is a template for a Small Business Subcontracting Plan, designed to be consistent with FAR **** outlines the requirements for formulating a subcontracting plan, including the plan period, submission dates, and details about the planholder. The template guides users in defining subcontracting spend, setting goals for various small business categories (SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone), and listing the types of products and services to be subcontracted. It also details the methods for developing goals, identifying potential sources, and handling indirect costs. The plan administrator's role and responsibilities are specified, along with efforts to ensure equitable opportunity for small businesses. The document includes clauses on flowdown requirements and reporting cooperation, emphasizing the use of the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (ESRS). Recordkeeping requirements are also outlined, including maintaining source lists and records of subcontract solicitations and awards. Finally, it addresses the utilization of small businesses in bid/proposal preparation and the contractor's agreement to provide written explanations for any failure to acquire goods or services from identified small businesses. The notice also mentions a specific project: y1lz construction of parking facilities project 528 375, parking ramp expansion minor construction at theva medical center in Buffalo, ny.
The planholder must be a single company and provide its Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Subsidiaries included in the plan should be listed by name. The plan should cover the entire period of performance, and commercial plans should coincide with the company's fiscal year. If the company's fiscal year ends before the contract period, a new subcontracting plan must be submitted 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing plan.
The template mentions that if an acceptable plan cannot be negotiated prior to the expiration of the existing subcontracting plan, contracts may be terminated. It also defines failure to make a good faith effort to comply with the subcontracting plan as a willful or intentional failure to perform or an intentional action to frustrate the plan.
The template requires the total estimated dollar value of all planned subcontracting to all types of business concerns, both large and small, to be entered. For individual plans, this includes a base period and a 5-year option. For commercial plans, it includes the total value of projected subcontracts, including all indirect costs except as described in section 1.
