Abstract: The requirements of provision 552.219-72 are an extension to the existing FAR policy for subcontracting plan submissions. In August 1994 GSAM Part 19 was amended to include the information collection of the provision 552.219-72, “Preparation, Submission, and Negotiation of Subcontracting Plans” to require for all negotiated solicitations, having an anticipated award value over $650,000 ($1,500,000 for construction), the submission of a subcontracting plan with an offeror’s proposal.
