SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The GSAR provision at 552.219-72 requires all offerors, other than 
small business concerns, responding to a negotiated solicitation to 
submit a subcontracting plan with their respective offers so that a 
plan can be negotiated concurrently with other parts of the proposal, 
including price and any technical and management proposals. The 
respondents are potential GSA contractors. The provision may be used 
when the contracting officer believes that the potential contract 
provides significant opportunities for small businesses as 
subcontractors. The contracting officer will use the information to 
evaluate whether GSA's expectation that subcontracting opportunities 
exist for small businesses is reasonable under the circumstances; 
negotiate goals consistent with statutory requirements and acquisition 
objectives; and expedite the award process. The provision is not 
applicable if an offeror submits a previously-approved commercial 
subcontracting plan.

    Respondents: 1,440.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Annual Responses: 1,440.
