Eligibility

Businesses considered “Other Than Small Business” that hold a contract valued at $750,000 or more are obligated to participate. Small businesses are not required to have a small business subcontracting plan.

Many documents comprise your MAS contract file. See several key documents listed below:

All MAS contractors report their sales into the FAS SRP. Those contractors under TDR do not have to maintain the Basis of Award relationship on their contract. All other traditional MAS contractors (not under TDR) have to maintain the Basis of Award relationship.  Check to see which version of clause 552.238-81 is included in your contract to better understand what’s required.
