    A large open competitive project is bid by a joint venture. The JV is 50% large business and 50% small business. If the small business is performing 50% of the work, does the JV still have to include a subcontracting plan with other small businesses, or does one just name the small business in the subcontracting plan.

    If the JV itself qualifies as a small business, then it will not have to submit a subcontracting plan. See FAR 19.702(B)(1). The fact that the small business part of the JV is performing 50 percent of the work is not, in and of itself, determinative of whether the JV is a small business.

    If you want to know how to determine whether your JV is a small business, I suggest that you read the SBA's size regulations in Title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The question can have a complicated answer.
