§ 226.7007 - Goals and incentives for subcontracting with HBCU/MIs.

(a) In reviewing subcontracting plans submitted under the clause at FAR 52.219-9, Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan, the contracting officer shall—

(1) Ensure that the contractor included anticipated awards to HBCU/MIs in the small disadvantaged business goal;

(2) Consider whether subcontracts are contemplated which involve research or studies of the type normally performed by higher educational institutions.

(b) The contracting officer may, when contracting by negotiation, insert in solicitations and contracts a clause similar to the clause at FAR 52.219-10, Incentive Subcontracting Program, when a subcontracting plan is required, and inclusion of a monetary incentive is, in the judgment of the contracting officer, necessary to increase subcontracting opportunities for historically black colleges or universities and minority institutions. The clause should include a separate goal for historically black colleges or universities and minority institutions.
