Title: ●Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2023-001, Subcontracting to Puerto Rican and Covered Territory Small Businesses | |
Abstract:
DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 861 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232), as implemented by the Small Business Administration (SBA) in its final rule published October 16, 2020 , and section 866 of the NDAA for FY 2021 (Pub. L. 116-283) as implemented in SBA’s direct final rule published August 19, 2022. The two statutory provisions provide contracting incentives to mentors that subcontract to protégé firms that are Puerto Rican and covered territory businesses as defined by section 866. Additionally, this rule implements changes to SBA’s regulations to clarify that 1) prime contractors may rely on self-certifications of their subcontractors, and 2) an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) owned firm that does not individually qualify as small but counts as a small business or a small disadvantaged business for subcontracting goaling purposes under 43 U.S.C. 1626(e)(4)(B) is not currently required to submit a subcontracting plan. This rule promotes equity in Federal procurement. |
