Read the first 6 FCC Subcontracting Plans & Teaming Agreements flashcards as text

  1. Under FAR 44.201, which type of subcontract requires the contracting officer's prior written consent before the prime may award?

    Answer: Cost-reimbursement subcontracts and subcontracts over a specified dollar threshold identified in the contract

    FAR 44.201 requires CO consent for cost-reimbursement subcontracts and those exceeding the consent threshold stated in FAR 52.244-2.

  2. Which document must a prime contractor submit to justify that a sole-source subcontract award is appropriate under FAR 44?

    Answer: A written subcontract consent request with justification for other than competitive subcontracting

    The prime must submit a written justification to the CO explaining why competition was not used for the subcontract requiring consent.

  3. The SBA's 'ostensible subcontractor' rule addresses situations where:

    Answer: A small business prime relies so heavily on a large subcontractor that the sub is actually performing the primary work, creating an affiliation issue

    The ostensible subcontractor rule deems the prime and an excessively dominant subcontractor affiliated, which may disqualify the prime from a small business set-aside.

  4. Under FAR 19.811-3, a mentor-protégé agreement must include a developmental assistance plan (DAP) that specifies:

    Answer: The specific assistance the mentor will provide to build the protégé's technical, managerial, and financial capabilities

    The DAP outlines concrete developmental assistance—training, financial support, technical mentoring—that the mentor commits to provide the protégé.

  5. When a prime contractor's subcontracting plan includes a goal for HUBZone small businesses, which criterion must the subcontractor meet at the time of subcontract award?

    Answer: The subcontractor must be SBA-certified as a HUBZone small business at the time of subcontract award

    To count toward HUBZone subcontracting goals, the subcontractor must hold current SBA HUBZone certification at the time of award.

  6. Which reporting system do prime contractors use to submit their Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISR) and Summary Subcontract Reports (SSR)?

    Answer: Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS)

    eSRS (esrs.gov) is the SBA-managed system where prime contractors submit all required subcontracting plan compliance reports.
