Title: ●Small Business Jobs Act: Subcontract Integrity  
Abstract: The U.S. Small Business Administration is proposing regulations that address subcontracting compliance and the interrelationship between contracting offices, small business offices and program offices relating to oversight and review activities. The proposed regulation will also address the statutory requirement that a large business prime contractor must represent that it will make good faith efforts to award subcontracts to small businesses at the same percentage as indicated in the subcontracting plan submitted as part of its proposal for a contract and that if the percentage is not met, the large business prime contractor must provide a written justification and explanation to the contracting officer. Finally, the proposed regulation may also address the statutory requirement that a prime contractor must notify the contracting officer in writing if it has paid a reduced price to a subcontractor for goods and services or if the payment to the subcontractor is more than 90 days past due.
