Which of the following is NOT a legitimate concern of the government in regard to subcontracting?
a.   increased risk from the breaching of cost restraints
b.   increased oversight requirements
c.   lack of privity with subcontractors
d.   reduced opportunity for cost-effective acquisition

Answer

• b.   increased oversight requirements
  Explanation:
  Subcontracting is the practice of assigning part of tasks and obligations under a contract to another party. If the subcontractor bleaches the contract terms, they are not held liable, rather, the prime contractor is sued for bleach. To ensure that subcontractors are meeting small business subcontracting goals, the contractor has to keep monitoring compliance plans, and records. This therefore is not the government’s concern, rather, prime contractors concern.
