GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This report is not required from small businesses.

2. This report is not required for commercial items for which a commercial plan has been approved, nor from large businesses in the Department of Defense (DOD) Test Program for Negotiation of Comprehensive Subcontracting Plans. The Summary Subcontract Report (SF 295) is required for contractors operating under one of these two conditions and should be submitted to the Government in accordance with the instructions on that form.

3. This form collects subcontract award data from prime contractors/subcontractors that: (a) hold one or more contracts over $500,000 (over $1,000,000 for construction of a public facility); and (b) are required to report subcontracts awarded to Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), HUBZone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns under a subcontracting plan. For the Department of Defense (DOD), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Coast Guard, this form also collects subcontract award data for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs).

4. This report is required for each contract containing a subcontracting plan and must be submitted to the administrative contracting officer (ACO) or contracting officer if no ACO is assigned, semi-annually during contract performance for the periods ended March 31st and September 30th. A separate report is required for each contract at contract completion. Reports are due 30 days after the close of each reporting period unless otherwise directed by the contracting officer. Reports are required when due, regardless of whether there has been any subcontracting activity since the inception of the contract or since the previous report.

5. Only subcontracts involving performance in the U.S. or its outlying areas should be included in this report.

6. Purchases from a corporation, company, or subdivision that is an affiliate of the prime/subcontractor are not included in this report.

7. Subcontract award data reported on this form by prime contractors/subcontractors shall be limited to awards made to their immediate subcontractors. Credit cannot be taken for awards made to lower tier subcontractors.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

BLOCK 2: For the Contractor Identification Number, enter the nine-digit Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number that identifies the specific contractor establishment. If there is no DUNS number available that identifies the exact name and address entered in Block 1, contact Dun and Bradstreet Information Services at 1-800-333-0505 to get one free of charge over the telephone. Be prepared to provide the following information: (1) Company name; (2) Company address; (3) Company telephone number; (4) Line of business; (5) Chief executive officer/key manager; (6) Date the company was started; (7) Number of people employed by the company; and; (8) Company affiliation.

BLOCK 4: Check only one. Note that all subcontract award data reported on this form represents activity since the inception of the contract through the date indicated in this block.

BLOCK 5: Check whether this report is a "Regular," "Final," and/or "Revised" report. A "Final" report should be checked only if the contractor has completed the contract or subcontract reported in Block 7. A "Revised" report is a change to a report previously submitted for the same period.

BLOCK 6: Identify the department or agency administering the majority of subcontracting plans.

BLOCK 7: Indicate whether the reporting contractor is submitting this report as a prime contractor or subcontractor and the prime contract or subcontract number.

BLOCK 8: Enter the name and address of the Federal department or agency awarding the contract or the prime contractor awarding the subcontract.

BLOCK 9: Check the appropriate block to indicate whether indirect costs are included in the dollar amounts in blocks 10a through 14. To ensure comparability between the goal and actual columns, the contractor may include indirect costs in the actual column only if the subcontracting plan included indirect costs in the goal.

BLOCKS 10a through 16: Under "Current Goal," enter the dollar and percent goals in each category (SB, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, service-disabled VOSBs, and HUBZone SB) from the subcontracting plan approved for this contract. (If the original goals agreed upon at contract award have been revised as a result of contract modifications, enter the original goals in Block 16. The amounts entered in Blocks 10a through 15 should reflect the revised goals.) Under "Actual Cumulative," enter actual subcontract achievements (dollar and percent) from the inception of the contract through the date of the report shown in Block 4. In cases where indirect costs are included, the amounts should include both direct awards and an appropriate prorated portion of indirect awards.

BLOCK 10a: Report all subcontracts awarded to SBs including subcontracts to SDBs, WOSBs, VOSBs, service-disabled VOSBs, and HUBZone SBs. For DOD, NASA, and Coast Guard contracts, include subcontracting awards to HBCUs and MIs.

BLOCK 10b: Report all subcontracts awarded to large businesses (LBs).

BLOCK 10c: Report on this line the total of all subcontracts awarded under this contract (the sum of lines 10a and 10b).

BLOCKS 11 through 16: Each of these items is a subcategory of Block 10a. Note that in some cases the same dollars may be reported in more than one block (e. g., SDBs owned by women or veterans).

BLOCK 11: Report all subcontracts awarded to SDBs (including women-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled VOSBs, and HUBZone SB SDBs). For DOD, NASA, and Coast Guard contracts, include subcontract awards to HBCUs and MIs.

BLOCK 12: Report all subcontracts awarded to Women-Owned firms (including SDBs, VOSB's, service-disabled VOSBs, and HUBZone SBs owned by women).

BLOCK 13 (For contracts with DoD, NASA, and Coast Guard): Report all subcontracts with HBCUs/MIs. Complete the column under "Current Goal" only when the subcontracting plan establishes a goal.

BLOCK 14: Report all subcontracts awarded to HUBZone SBs (including women-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled VOSBs, and SDB HUBZone SBs).

BLOCK 15: Report all subcontracts awarded to VOSBs including service-disabled VOSBs (include VOSBs that are also SDBs, WOSBs and HUBZone SBs.).

BLOCK 16: Report all subcontracts awarded to service-disabled veteran-owned SB concerns that are also SDBs, WOSBs, and HUBZone SBs.

BLOCK 17: Enter a short narrative explanation if (a) SB, SDB, WOSB, VOSBs, Service-Disabled VOSBs, or HUBZone SB accomplishments fall below that which would be expected using a straight-line projection of goals through the period of contract performance; or (b) if this is a final report, any one of the three goals was not met.

DEFINITIONS

1. Direct Subcontract Awards are those that are identified with the performance of one or more specific Government contract(s).

2. Indirect costs are those which, because of incurrence for common or joint purposes, are not identified with specific Government contracts; these awards are related to Government contract performance but remain for allocation after direct awards have been determined and identified to specific Government contracts.

What the Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts Is

A Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts is a formal record that documents subcontractor participation, payments, and work scope under a single prime contract. It typically records subcontractor names, business classifications (small business, disadvantaged, veteran-owned), the value and type of work performed, and percent of total contract value. Government and regulated commercial contracts use these reports to demonstrate compliance with approved subcontracting plans, meet small-business goals, and support audits. Electronic execution and storage are generally acceptable under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state UETA laws when signature intent, consent, attribution, and retention can be shown.

Why a Professional Subcontracting Report Matters

Completing a clear, accurate Subcontracting Report helps meet contractual and regulatory requirements, supports small-business utilization tracking, and reduces audit risk. Accurate reports preserve prime contractor eligibility for future awards and protect against penalties for noncompliance.

Why a Professional Subcontracting Report Matters

Who Prepares and Reviews These Reports

Prime contractors, subcontract administrators, contract compliance officers, and contracting officers commonly prepare or review Subcontracting Reports for Individual Contracts.

  • Prime Contractor Contracting Team: Responsible for compiling subcontractor data, verifying payments, and ensuring the report matches invoicing and contract records.
  • Subcontract Administrators: Collect data from subcontractors, confirm socioeconomic status classifications, and reconcile scope and schedule details.
  • Government Contracting Officers / Auditors: Review submitted reports to confirm compliance with the approved subcontracting plan and applicable federal rules.

Accurate submission protects contract performance standing and simplifies audits; timely distribution to contracting officers and internal stakeholders supports transparency.

Primary Signatories and Their Roles

Authorized Representative

Typically a senior contracting official or corporate officer with authority to certify subcontracting data. This signer confirms the report is accurate and may be held accountable for false statements.

Subcontractor Contact

A designated subcontractor representative who provides payment and scope confirmations. Their attestation supports prime contractor reconciliation and audit evidence.

Essential Elements to Include in the Report

A professional Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts contains standardized entries, attachments for supporting documents, clear signatures, and a concise summary of compliance with any subcontracting plan goals.

Report Header

Contract number, prime contractor name, contract period, and reporting period; identifies the single contract the report covers.

Subcontractor Details

Name, EIN or TIN, address, socio-economic classification, contact name, and email for each subcontractor listed.

Scope of Work

Short description of the work performed or services provided by each subcontractor and applicable deliverables.

Payment Summary

Total dollar amounts paid to each subcontractor during the report period and cumulative payments to date.

Goal Compliance

Percent of subcontracting plan goals met for categories such as small business, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned business.

Supporting Attachments

Copies of subcontract agreements, invoices, certificates of status, and any required subconsultant confirmations.

Step-by-Step: Completing a Subcontracting Report

Follow these steps to prepare a complete, auditable Subcontracting Report for a single contract, from data collection through signature and submission.

  • 01
    Collect Data: Gather subcontract agreements, invoices, and payment records for the reporting period.
  • 02
    Populate Fields: Enter contract ID, subcontractor details, work scope, and payment amounts into the report template.
  • 03
    Attach Evidence: Attach copies of invoices, signed subcontracts, and certifications for socioeconomic status.
  • 04
    Review and Sign: Have authorized representatives attest, date, and sign before submitting to the contracting officer.

Recommended Digital Workflow Settings

Configure the e-submission workflow to capture attestations, timestamping, and an auditable trail for each signer.

Field Configuration
Signature Type Electronic signature with timestamp and audit trail
Authentication Email link plus optional SMS code for signer verification
Attachments Require file upload for invoices and subcontract agreements
Retention Enable immutable audit log and PDF/A export for long-term storage

How Electronic Submission Typically Flows

A concise workflow for e-submitting a Subcontracting Report clarifies responsibilities and preserves evidence for each action.

  • Prepare: Sender populates report fields and attaches supporting documents.
  • Assign: Sender assigns signature and attestation fields to authorized parties.
  • Authenticate: Signers confirm identity via email link or stronger authentication.
  • Record: System captures timestamp, IP, and audit trail, then stores the executed PDF.

Technical Requirements for eSubmission and Storage

Use a platform that supports secure eSignature capture, audit trails, and export to long-term archive formats such as PDF/A.

  • File Formats: PDF, PDF/A, and DOCX support
  • Integrations: Connectors for ERP, document management, and cloud storage
  • Security: TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest

Confirm the platform can produce an auditable certificate of completion, support role-based access, and meet any applicable compliance such as HIPAA (BAA) if the report contains protected health information.

Key Timing Considerations and Deadlines

Understand reporting deadlines tied to contract terms, invoicing cycles, and audit schedules to avoid late submissions or compliance findings.

Contractual Reporting:

Follow the prime contract clause specifying monthly, quarterly, or annual reporting deadlines.

Invoice Reconciliation:

Match report period to invoice dates to prevent payment disputes.

Audit Access:

Maintain documentation to support audits for the retention period required by statute or contract.

Timely Signatures:

Obtain required attestations before the submission deadline to avoid extensions.

Correction Window:

Correct material errors promptly and document the correction for audit trails.

Key Milestones from Preparation to Submission

A sequential milestone view helps coordinate internal teams and ensure on-time, complete reporting for the contract.

01

Data Collection

Gather all subcontractor invoices and certifications relevant to the reporting period.

02

Draft Report

Populate template fields and attach supporting documents for internal review.

03

Internal Approval

Obtain sign-off from compliance officer or contracts manager.

04

Submission

Transmit executed report to the contracting officer and archive the signed copy.

Common Preparation Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Missing or inconsistent subcontractor identifiers that prevent reconciliation with payment records.
  • Vague scope descriptions that make it difficult to confirm the work performed against contract requirements.
  • Late collection of invoices causing rushed, error-prone entries and incomplete attachments.
  • Failure to capture signer authentication and audit trail evidence required for electronic acceptance.

Consequences of Inaccurate or Late Reports

Contract Noncompliance: May lead to corrective actions or disallowance of costs
Audit Findings: Could trigger additional review and remediation requirements
Financial Penalties: Potential fines or withheld payments under contract terms
Loss of Award Eligibility: Repeated failures can affect responsibility determinations
Reputational Risk: Negative impact in future proposal evaluations
Tax Reporting Issues: Incorrect TINs can cause backup withholding at 24%

Security, Format, and Compliance Checklist

Encryption: TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest
