DFARS 252.219-7003, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts). 
DoD needs this information to improve administration under the small 
business subcontracting program and to evaluate a contractor's past 
performance in complying with its small business subcontracting plan.
    The clause at DFARS 252.219-7003 is prescribed for use in 
solicitations and contracts that include the clause at Federal 
Acquisition Regulation 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan. 
Paragraph (e) of the DFARS clause requires the contractor to notify the 
contracting officer, in writing, of any substitutions of firms that are 
not small business firms, for the small business firms specifically 
identified in the subcontracting plan. The notification is necessary 
when (1) a prime contractor has identified specific small business 
concerns in its subcontracting plan, and (2) after contract award, 
substitutes one of the small businesses identified in its 
subcontracting plan with a firm that is not a small business. The 
intent of this information collection is to alert the contracting 
officer of this situation.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan. Requests for copies of 
the information collection proposal should be sent to Ms. Duncan at
