The Corps of Engineers (COE) is responsible for effectively implementing the small business programs withi n its activities, including achieving program goals, and ensuring that contracting and technical personnel maintain knowledge of Small, Small Disadvantaged, and Women-owned small business program requirements, and taking all reasonable actions to increase participation in its small business activities. In line with the emphasis on this program, the COE, New York District is particularly desirous of increasing subcontracting opportunities for Small business concerns, Small Disadvantaged business concerns and Women-owned small business concerns. You, as a prime contractor, are required to participate in this program by soliciting subcontractor bids from such firms. In addition to locating simply small business sources, you are encouraged to take action to loca te competent Small Disadvantaged and Women-owned small business concerns for your subcontracting opportunities in preparing your offer. You are further urged to request such sources in the vicinity in which the work is to be performed. In addition, it is s uggested that you contact the local SBA Minority Enterprise Development (MED) staff to obtain SBA?s certified listing of socially and economically disadvantaged business concerns in the vicinity in which the work is to be performed. Therefore, the followin g instructions and provisions apply to this solicitation: The successful offeror, if a large business, must submit a subcontracting plan within five (5) working days of notification of selection. The subcontracting plan must be in conformance with all asp ects of FAR Subpart 19.7. A contract will not be awarded unless and until the Contracting Officer has determined (with advice from SBA) that the offeror?s subcontracting plan provides maximum practicable opportunities for Small, Small Disadvantaged and Wo men-owned Small Business concerns to participate in contract performance. In determining the acceptability of a proposed subcontracting plan the Contracting Officer will evaluate all relevant factors inclusive of an offeror?s past performance with respect to the offeror?s having awarded subcontracts for the same or similar products or services to Small, Small Disadvantaged and Women-owned small business concerns. In order to make this evaluation, the offeror is required to submit its past SF 294 (Subcontra cting Report For Individual Contracts) and SF 295 (Summary Subcontract Report) forms along with its offer. Subcontracting plans will be evaluated to ensure compliance with solicitation requirements and the public law. PRIOR to award, the successful offero r will be required to discuss its subcontracting plan with the Small And Disadvantaged Business Utilization Specialist (the ?SADBUS?), the Contracting Officer, the Source Selection Authority and the SBA. FAR 19.706, Responsibilities Of The Cognizant Admin istrative Contracting Officer, at subsection (b) states that ?If the contractor does not comply in good faith with the subcontracting plan, the administrative contracting officer shall, upon contract completion, make appropriate recommendations that contra cting officers may use for future contracts.? Therefore, a determination by the contracting officer, during or after completion of the project, that the contractor did not implement its plan in good faith may result in adverse recommendations with regard to the contractor?s future contract opportunities. In addition, FAR 52.219-16, Liquidated Damages - Subcontracting Plan, failure to fully implement the plan during the life of the project may result in the assessment of liquidated damages.
