FAR 52.219-9 requires a certified subcontractor documentation trail. Would yours hold up under a contracting officer review today?
Federal prime contracts over $2 million require a subcontracting plan. The plan is only as good as the certified documentation behind it. Supplier.io maintains that documentation continuously.
Built for: Construction and civil engineering, manufacturing and defense primes, and professional services firms holding federal prime contracts.

Trusted sources of supplier data
Filing the form is not compliance. Compliance is a certified, continuously maintained documentation trail that holds up when a contracting officer asks to see it.

Automated collection from your primes
Tier 2 Reporting sends automated data requests to your primes every time a reporting period opens. Submissions come through a standardized portal that takes most primes about ten minutes.
Verified against the Supplier.io database
Verification is built into the platform: certifications for every supplier your primes report by name are automatically checked against the Supplier.io database of 20M+ suppliers from 450+ authoritative sources. Expired or unmatched certifications are flagged.
Filing-ready output from one record
Your subcontracting plan goals are reconciled against actual spend automatically, and the eSRS filing itself is generated from the same record. What a contracting officer sees traces back to a maintained plan, not a rebuilt one.
Beyond the filing: risk and impact

Frequently asked questions
Details about far 52.219-9 subcontracting plan compliance
Who is required to have a subcontracting plan?
Federal prime contractors and subcontractors with contracts over $900,000 ($2 million for construction) that offer further subcontracting opportunities, per FAR 52.219-9.
What is the difference between an individual plan and a commercial plan?
An individual plan covers a single contract. A commercial plan covers all contracts under one commercial product or service line and requires one Summary Subcontracting Report filed in eSRS within 30 days after the end of the contractor’s fiscal year.
What makes a subcontractor certification defensible?
A contracting officer reviewing your plan may request documentation showing certification status was verified, not just reported. Supplier.io verifies every named certification against the issuing body, creating a continuously maintained audit trail.
Why does the data collection window matter?
Plan performance is measured across the government fiscal year. A certification that lapses mid-year and is not caught until reporting time creates a defensibility gap at exactly the wrong moment.
How long does implementation take?
Standard onboarding is 60 days. Teams that start after a plan year is already underway are typically reconstructing data rather than reviewing a continuously maintained record.
