Small Business Subcontracting Clause Samples
The Small Business Subcontracting clause requires contractors to develop and implement plans for subcontracting a portion of their work to small businesses. Typically, this involves setting specific goals for awarding subcontracts to small, disadvantaged, women-owned, or veteran-owned businesses and reporting progress to the contracting agency. The core function of this clause is to promote the participation of small businesses in federal contracts, thereby fostering diversity and competition in the supply chain.
