The General Services Administration (GSA) is moving the implementation date of the System for Award Management (SAM) from May 29, 2012 to the end of July 2012. The additional sixty days will allow federal agencies to continue preparing their staff, give agencies and commercial system providers even more time to test their data transfer connections, and will ensure SAM contains the critical, documented capabilities users need from the system.
This first phase of SAM will include the capabilities of Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Federal Agency Registration (FedReg), Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). In preparation for the launch, GSA conducted extensive testing internally and in coordination with federal agencies using the data from these systems in their own contracting, grants, finance, and other departments. The testing was very valuable and will focus the efforts of the next sixty days.
SAM will reduce the burden on those seeking to do business with the government. Vendors will be able to log into one system to manage their entity information in one record, with one expiration date, through one streamlined business process. Federal agencies will be able to look in one place for entity pre-award information. Everyone will have fewer passwords to remember and see the benefits of data reuse as information is entered into SAM once and reused throughout the system.
For more information about the system, please visit: http://sam.gov

The brief given by Ms. Emily Harman, Associate Director, NAVAIR Office of Small Business Programs at the recently held National Small Business Federal Contracting Summit is available to view/download. Click on the heading link above to access the document.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) is
proposing to amend its regulations to implement provisions of the Small
Business Jobs Act of 2010, which pertain to small business
subcontracting. SBA is proposing to amend its regulations to provide
for a ``covered contract'' (a contract for which a small business
subcontracting plan is required, currently valued above $1.5 million
for construction and $650,000 for all other contracts), a prime
contractor must notify the contracting officer in writing whenever the
prime contractor does not utilize a subcontractor used in preparing its
bid or proposal during contract performance. SBA is also proposing to
amend its regulations to require a prime contractor to notify a
contracting officer in writing whenever the prime contractor reduces
payments to a subcontractor or when payments to a subcontractor are 90
days or more past due. In addition, SBA is proposing to clarify that
the contracting officer is responsible for monitoring and evaluating
small business subcontracting plan performance. SBA is also proposing
to clarify which subcontracts must be included in subcontracting data
reporting, which subcontracts should be excluded, and the way
subcontracting data is reported. SBA is also proposing to make other changes to update its subcontracting regulations, including changing subcontracting plan thresholds and referencing the electronic subcontracting reporting system (eSRS). Some of the SBA's proposed changes would require the contracting officer to review subcontracting plan reports within 60 days of the report ending date. Finally, SBA is also proposing to address how subcontracting plan requirements and credit towards subcontracting goals can be implemented in connection with Multi-agency, Federal Supply Schedule, Multiple Award Schedule and Government-wide Acquisition indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 5, 2011. Click here to read the entire proposed rule change.
