 The requirement for submitting and executing a Small Business
Subcontracting Plan "goes with  the territory" for all Federal Contracts
over $500,000.  It's source legislation is the Small Business Act of 1958,
as amended.  More information can be found at the Federal Acquisition
Regulation, (FAR) Part 19.  This section of the FAR is "operationalized" in
your contract by the clauses at Section I, chiefly 52.219-8, -9, and -16,
and the DFARs clause at 252.219-7005.
 Your purchasing office at the University and local Small Business
Administration are also good starting points that may be able to assist you
in finding small businesses.  Since it is likely that ONR Chicago will be
doing the administration of this contract, feel free to call me if you need
more info or help!!
