SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING

The subcontracting plan must include the percentage goals for utilizing small business, and socio-economic categories of small business including SDVOSB and VOSB as subcontractors, the total dollars planned to be subcontracted, and the methods used to develop and achieve these goals.
