has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
In accordance with the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631, et seq.),
contractors receiving a contract for more than $10,000 agree to have
small and small disadvantaged business concerns participate in the
performance of the contract as far as practicable. Contractors
receiving a contract or a modification to a contract expected to exceed
$500,000 ($1,000,000 for construction) must submit a subcontracting
plan that provides maximum practicable opportunities for small and
small disadvantaged business concerns. Specific elements required to be
included in the plan are specified in section 8(d) of the Small
Business Act and are implemented in FAR 19.7.
In conjunction with these plans, contractors must submit reports of
their progress on SF 295, Summary Subcontract Report. In addition, OFPP
Policy Letter 91-1, Government-Wide Small Business and Small
Disadvantaged Business Goals for Procurement Contracts, requires
Executive branch departments and agencies to report the number and
dollar value of subcontracts awarded to small business, small
disadvantaged business and women-owned small business. The report is
being expanded to collect information on the number of subcontract
awards to small business, small disadvantaged business and women-owned
small business which is not currently collected by the report.
Information submitted on SF 295 is used to assess contractor's
compliance with their subcontracting plans and to report achievement of
goals for subcontract awards to small business, small disadvantaged
business and women-owned small business.
