United StatesFederal agencies would review subcontracting plans and report results
The Administrator would check subcontracting plans for at least 10% of each agency’s contracts and report compliance results and follow-up actions.
What it does
For each federal agency, the Administrator would check subcontracting plans for at least 10% of contracts entered into during a fiscal year, covering different kinds of contracts and plans.
The report would describe how well reviewed contractors followed their plans, how many reviews the Administrator conducted to understand noncompliance, and any further reviews or other actions taken.
Argument forReporting compliance results and follow-up actions could help agencies and the public see where contractors miss plan requirements and how the Administrator responds.
Argument againstReviewing contracts and preparing detailed reports could add work for the Administrator and contractors with subcontracting plans.
More detail
The Administrator would evaluate contracts for compliance with their subcontracting plans. The reviews cover contracts with subcontracting plans required under section 8(d)(4) or (5) of the Small Business Act. The Administrator must include different types of contracts and subcontracting plans in the reviews. The 10% minimum applies to contracts entered into during each fiscal year.
The report required under subsection (a) would include information about reviewed contracts, review efforts, and follow-up actions. For each reviewed contract, the report would describe the contractor’s compliance with its plan, with results broken down by federal agency. The text adds these items to the report required under subsection (a), but does not state when that report is due.
