Title: ●Temporary Extension of Test Program for Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plans (DFARS Case 2015-D013) | |
Abstract:
DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 821 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 regarding the Test Program for Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plans. The Test Program was established under section 834 of the NDAAs for FYs 1990 and 1992 to determine whether the negotiation and administration of comprehensive small business subcontracting plans would result in an increase of opportunities provided for small business concerns under DoD contracts. A comprehensive subcontracting plan (CSP) can be negotiated on a corporate, division, or sector level, rather than contract by contract. This rule proposes to amend the DFARS to: (1) extend the Test Program through December 31, 2017; (2) require contracting officers to consider an offerors failure to make a good faith effort to comply with its CSP in past performance evaluations; and (3) inform program participants that a CSP will not be negotiated with a contractor that did not meet the small business goals negotiated in its prior CSP. DoD expects this rule will have a positive economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, because the rule will hold the prime contractors, participating in the program, to the small business goals established in their CSP, resulting in increased business opportunities for small business subcontractors. |
