Individual Subcontracting Report
(ISR)
 OSBP instituted an innovative Individual Subcontracting Report
(ISR) tracking system, which was recognized by the SBA as one of
the government’s best practices. This system currently tracks over
332 NASA subcontracting plans.
 The chart tracks goals in terms of percent of total contract value
(TCV), in accordance with NASA policy.
 For NASA, eSRS tracks subcontracting achievements in terms of
both (1) percentage of total subcontracting dollars, per FAR
requirements, and (2) percent of TCV, per NASA policy.
 For IDIQ’s, however, eSRS is unable to track achievements as a
percent of TCV, because there is no total/current contract value
available for IDIQ’s from FPDS, from which eSRS pulls.
