ISR reporting checklist for prime contractors
Use this checklist before filing an Individual Subcontract Report (ISR) in SAM.gov Subcontracting Plan Reporting. Requirements vary by contract — confirm the latest SAM.gov instructions for your PIID.
Before you start
Data to assemble per contract (PIID)
- Subcontractor legal name and UEI for each award in the period.
- Subcontract dollars by socio-economic category (small business, SDB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, etc.).
- Comparison to negotiated plan goals for each category.
- Narrative or supporting detail when goals are not met — tied to documented outreach.
Good-faith effort cross-check
If category goals were missed, ensure outreach records show certified small businesses were identified and solicited. See good-faith effort documentation and export your sample GFE report format.
