RJH46 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 In an earlier question it was averred that in a JV where both members are large businesses are large that both partners are allowed to combine their 1st tier small business subcontracting toward meeting the small business goals in the contract. I am researching this and have been looking for an official reference that this is allowed. Can anyone help on this you help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velhammer Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I read the original post and don't agree with the assumption. A JV of two large businesses would be a separate legal business entity and would have one subcontracting plan - if it were an individual plan. If the JV opted for a commercial plan, it would still be one plan for the JV; not the separate partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
