Summary
This **Small Business Utilization Worksheet** issued under solicitation **HTC711-24-R-CC01** requires every offeror to submit a detailed plan for soliciting, selecting, committing to, and managing small-business Tier 1 subcontractors throughout contract performance.
The worksheet is a source-selection document and will be incorporated as a material part of the resulting contract; it is separate from, and does not replace, the small-business subcontracting plan required under FAR 19.7.
Offerors must explain how they will identify and solicit Tier 1 small-business subcontractors, including potential use of SAM.gov, the Small Business Administration’s Small Business Search, and trade associations.
Responses must describe subcontractor selection criteria—such as past performance and socioeconomic status, including women-owned and veteran-owned businesses—and explain how small businesses will participate in fulfilling the requirement.
The worksheet also requires offerors to state the extent of their commitment to Tier 1 firms, including whether proposed agreements are enforceable or non-enforceable and the specific level of commitment represented.
In addition, offerors must describe how they will preserve secured subcontractor capacity during contract performance and identify methods for increasing small-business utilization.
They must provide an approach for managing Tier 1 subcontractor performance and quality, including how the Government will be informed of actions taken to resolve quality issues and how corrective actions, penalties, or incentives may be used to promote the highest quality of performance.
