Short Statement:
The adjustments for this reporting requirement have drastically changed. Before the implementation of eSRS, the government did not really have an accurate count of the number of individual subcontracting plans and the number of Standard Form 294s being collected for individual subcontracting plans. With the electronic subcontracting reporting system, the government is now able to obtain a more accurate number of those contractors with individual subcontracting plans and Individual Subcontract Reports. Although the number of subcontracting plans and individual subcontracting reports has significantly increased, the electronic system shortens the length of time for reporting the subcontracting achievements.
