The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and the Office of Strategic Procurement have developed a new training opportunity to support schools awarded federal contracts over $700,000 that require Small Business Subcontracting Plans.
In this training you will learn:
- What a small business subcontracting plan is, when it is required, and the importance of developing a viable plan
- Available resources to help you create an acceptable plan
- The best time to request assistance in the contract cycle
The objectives of the training are to:
- Gain a better understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as it applies to Small Business Subcontracting
- Learn best practices for developing a Small Business Subcontracting Plan
- Understand the (post-award) reporting process for Small Business Subcontracting
Participating in the training is an excellent opportunity to learn more about this federal requirement whether you have already submitted a plan, are working on a proposal that may reach the $700,000 threshold, or anticipate receiving an award in the future.
You will also learn about inclusive purchasing best practices, as well as be provided with a variety of resources and tools to help ensure your awarded federal contract goals are met.
Training will be offered twice a year on both the Cambridge and Longwood campuses (additional trainings available upon request). Please contact Gladymar Parziale, Senior Advisor for Supplier Development and Diversity with any questions or if you need assistance, or call 617-496-4117.
