ii. Assuring that small and minority businesses,and women's business enterprises
are solicited whenever they are potential sources;
iii. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or
quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses,
and women's business enterprises;
iv. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which
encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's
business enterprises;
V. Using the services and assistance,as appropriate, of such organizations as the
Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency
of the Department of Commerce;and
vi. Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the
affirmative steps listed in paragraphs(i).through v. of this subparagraph.
b. The requirement outlined in subparagraph a. above, sometimes referred to as
"socioeconomic contracting," does not impose an obligation to set aside either the
solicitation or award of a contract to these types of firms. Rather, the requirement only
imposes an obligation to carry out and document the six affirmative steps identified above.
c. The "socioeconomic contracting" requirement outlines the affirmative steps that the
Subrecipient must take; the requirements do not preclude the Subrecipient from
undertaking additional steps to involve small and minority businesses and women's
business enterprises.
d. The requirement to divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller
tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and
women's business enterprises, does not authorize the Subrecipient to break a single
project down into smaller components in order to circumvent the micro-purchase or small
purchase thresholds so as to utilize streamlined acquisition procedures (e.g. "project
splitting").
